I think the idea would be just to allow discussion on the idea of intelligent design in general. You are right that getting into the beliefs of specific religions could get a bit messy in a public school. But even then, if the discussion can remain civilized, it should be fair game. It's reasonable to present it as an alternative angle on how all this stuff came to be. Students are then more informed, and can make up their own minds as to what they think.
Ultimatly, science is not anti-religion, and religion is not anti-science. They can co-exist.
And again, while creation narratives may seem to sound crazy, it's not as if the Big Bang people are certain of what they are talking about. No one was around obviously to witness the birth of the universe. From that standpoint, a big explosion of sorts seems just as crazy and unlikely. Someone could have done it. Moooooniverse!
