The War Between Creationists and Evolutionists Wages on Despite Intelligent Design Theory

Soldiers in the war of religion verses science battle on in the conflict of creation verses evolution. A debate that's waged everywhere from the class room to the floor of congress continues on in this country, and probably will forever. But who's to say which position is the correct one? Is there even a correct position? How will we prove it?

I guess the greatest battle field in this debate, however is the class room. In a public school system who is to decide what we teach our children? Perhaps we should base our decision on science and its' "facts". Or possibly we should side with religion and its' faith? Maybe we should try a subtle compromise like intelligent design. I believe there is no real solution. As long as there are many different kinds of people, from different backgrounds, converging in one establishment to learn the ways of man, there will be conflicting interests.

Personally I don't see why we couldn't just teach all of the differing points of view on the matter, and let intelligent people make their own informed decisions about what they believe. It would be simple to rewrite the tests to allow for this. We could simply treat each theory for what they are; theories.

However I don't see this as a viable solution in a world where one is right, and everyone else is wrong. Take the Christian religion for example; there are numerous denominations within the church, and just as many differing positions within each one of those denominations. It would be hard enough to get all of those people to agree let alone get them to agree with peoples of other faiths.
