After all, kids are smart enough aren’t they? We should teach them alternatives to be fair,
just as Creationsits want Intelligent Design as an altnerative to the Theory of Evolution,
do they also wish that astronomy class include the geocentric model of the solar system, with the Earth in the center, and the sun in Earth orbit?
In the interest of fairness?

actually as a science teacher I do indeed teacher the geocentric solar system
I use it as a way to show what we see and observe is not always what is really happening
its a great intro to Relativity
I even have them work out all the circles in cicels for retrograde
This teaches them to always question what we see to make sure it is the truth
your analogy is about as weak as FDR’s legs
Yeah, Ptolemy rules!!
There’s no such thing as an alternative to reality.
I hear where you’re coming from, though.
Teaching Creationism as a “fair alternative” is like teaching kids to jump off of cliffs as a fair alternative to gravity.
There is a difference between creationism and intelligent design. As to the question…a theory is only valid until proven otherwise. The geocentric theory has obviously been proven false while the heliocentric theory has not. Intelligent Design does not address the development of species as Evolution does. It merely makes the case for the universe as having been designed with intricacy and order. Intelligent Design seeks to find the origin of live all together and speaks very little to the development of life over time. It is possible to believe in both Intelligent Design and Evolutions as theories of the origin and development of life. The biggest problem is that people on both sides of the argument are so irrationally involved that they cannot think clearly about the discussion.
