On being wrong
If you can be wrong on something as simple as a song imagine what big thing you may have mis-understood.
If you can be wrong about something as major as claims of a global flood about 4,350 years ago and an earth <10,000 years old imagine what else you may be wrong about.
That is why everyone should learn both sides of a discussion with an open mind. What makes any method more important to teach than the other?
One has evidence supporting it, while the other has belief, dogma, scripture, revelation and other squishy forms of "knowledge."

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: There is nothing to teach about ID...
I have a question for you:
What would the lesson plan for ID look like?
And could it avoid an argument from incredulity, i.e., "We haven't figured this out yet so it must have been done through supernatural means?"
Isn't ID just an effort to introduce the supernatural into public school education so that an alternative is presented to scientific explanations?
If this is not the case, what would the lesson plan for ID look like?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
