Ok, I concede the point. She may be an exceptional teacher who merely chooses to teach poorly. This was a useful discussion.Very good. You are all about the strawman aren't you? Teaching English in a science classroom isn't good practice either, but still doesn't reflect upon the overall teaching ability.
Teachers who choose to teach poorly should be fired.
No not all. I am of the camp that says it is a deity and that He created all of the mechanism that run our universe. Science allows us to discover and comprehend these mechanics. Science, at this point, can neither prove nor disprove anything beyond our universe. Intelligent Design can encompass anything from deity created, to this being a computer simulation (a recent theory). It holds to no one religious bias, or even a religious base at all. A metaphysical one maybe, but not necessarily religious.
Yes, yes, it can be all sorts of things. But in the real, non-hypothetical world, people teaching creationism in a science class in Texas are referring to the Christian biblical "poof" version. When that gets stopped, they rebrand it "Intelligent Design" but are still attempting to teach Chrstianity-specific ideas.
She could have been referring to the Hindu creation story. But she's not.
