I hope nobody thinks I'm in any way advocating for the teaching of Creationism or ID in the classroom.
There's plenty of rote memorization that can be done with science and literature, ...as well as (elsewhere) the Bible.
I only mentioned it as a chance to try the little joke about Genes Is vs. Genesis.
I don't even understand how one would teach these in the science classroom.
To me, ID is about origins, and Evolution is about the process occurring after the origin; two very different things.
As a part of a survey of religions class, or a philosophy of science class, they would be fine I suppose; but what purpose can they serve in a science classroom.

Well, I see I'm just echoing the wisdom of others here... sorry.
But, I wanted to clarify my "rote memorization" comment.
