A scientific theory must be testable correct?
Which would make any assertion that creation is the result of an unprovable being unscientific. If there is a rule specifying that science curriculums only include scientific theories, then it makes sense that they would exclude Intelligent Design from the classroom.
Still, I think it would be valuable to teach the subject in some other way. Perhaps a Religious Studies discipline in grade school similar to how the Catholic curriculum works here in Calgary. That way, study of ID and religion in general remains scientific, objective and focused on understanding. Which is the point of education... right?
Just some thoughts...
