Of course at a certain point this becomes nigh impossible. How could such a course be constructed, for example, to appease biblical literalists? Was the Earth created 4 billion years ago or 6 thousands years ago? And, as arguments I've heard go, God created the Earth 6,000 years ago to LOOK four billion years old what's the point of bringing it up? There are, I think, fundamental issues (especially when dealing with fundamentalists) with the mixture of religion and science that each person must address with their family or clergy. I don't believe that these can be wholly addressed in science class and any attempt to will simply take time away from the purpose of the class.
