I'm a believer in NOMA - that is, religion in its place, science in its place thank you very much Professor Dawkins. Serious question: if ID proponents are given space in the science classroom to put their views, should "materialist scientists" be given space in the religion classroom (scripture classes, Divinity lectures, Sunday School etc) to put theirs?

Ha. I like that idea. If the reason for having ID in science class is to cast doubt on science, then science should be allowed to play Mythbusters with religion class.

My grandmother taught Sunday school when I was little, and she's a geologist... she used seismology to propose possible explanations of certain Biblical miracles.

Wouldn't that stop them from being miracles?

That's what I wasn't sure of-- she was a very religious person, and the impression I took away from it was that God still made the earthquakes. It was like natural forces and seismology were God's tools for messing about with humanity.
