Joe you are talking in circles. You support the courts decision that mandates keeping religion out of schools and then state religion belongs in schools. Private religious schools teach their religion as part of the curriculum. Religion is also part of history and is covered in course materials dealing with history and how civilizations evolve or stagnate.
As to ID, change in science is slow and the fact ID is not found in scientific literature does not mean ID is not a valid concept. Or are you out to limit science to the status quo? ID is growing in acceptance, as even a cursory reading of materials not published in scientific journals will show.
BTW, your link to NCSE Project Steve is begging the question because the scientists I have read who support ID are not creationists.
Teaching youth not to question accepted theories is not expanding their horizons it is maintaining the status quo. True advances in science requires questioning what is accepted as truth otherwise science stagnates and becomes irrelevant to our society.
Slp, in one of my previous posts I listed scientists who support ID and/or oppose evolution based on their scientific disciplines (not their religious beliefs). It seems you are out to marginalize what other scientific disciplines are discovering concerning our universe and scientific truth is not part of your agenda. I find it interesting how you phrased your question:
Can you provide an example or two of scientists using ID in their disciplines?
A better way to phrase this is “are their scientists who came to believe ID through their scientific disciplines? And the answer is yes.
