Quite frankly, I am happy with their ruling. As much of an avid theist and supporter of theology in general being taught in public schools, the place for this is NOT, I repeat, NOT the science class.
ID in a science class makes as much sense as learning to bake cookies in history class, playing a trombone in english literature class, or doing trigonometry in art class.
I think we all know that you're religious, but you're the religious type that I like. You're a moderate. The type of guy who takes religion for what it can teach you about yourself, not about being 'the absolute irrefutable truth'. To my mind (and you know I'm not religious) that's what religion should be all about, getting in touch with yourself and others. As a guy, you're interested in science as a means of finding out about the world - you seem to believe it should be questioned, which is fine because you also question religion.
To all you fundy theists out there, this is a message; I, and many other evolutionists are not anti-religion, we're just anti-lies, anti-being repressed by individuals with political and / or religious agendas, anti-hypocracy and anti-assh*les!
