Default Intelligent design vs. evolution?

Should they teach both of these in high school science classes?

I have two BAs in History and Philosophy and a good deal of my classes were on the limitations of the human mind with respect to actually knowing how the universe works. There seemed to be a lot of holes in the theory of evolution and even more in our knowledge of the human mind let alone subatomic particles and the theories of the beginning and the end of the universe.

Of course, much of this philosophy seems a little advanced for most high schools.

Any thoughts on teaching evolution and creationism in the public high schools in the United States? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatio...on_controversy

We really do our children a disservice by not teaching them both ideas, and allowing them to form an opinion. Isn't that what learning is about , expanding the mind, teaching different philosophies and framing opinions.

English: You are absolutely right about the universities today and the appalling practice of teaching according to the professors bias on a subject.
