More than one design theory

I am in favor of teaching intelligent design in public school, but I can't see how you can speak for more than a few minutes without giving a particular religious slant. As a practitioner of Asatru, a religion reconstructing the beliefs of pre-Christian Northern Europe, I believe Odin, Vili and Ve slew the giant Ymir and built the earth from his bones. I hardly think that's what my children will be taught in a science class in public school.

There are too many beliefs about just what intelligences did the creating for it to be a simple matter of teaching it or not. Why don't we simply spend a few minutes of class telling our children that there are opposing theories and allow them to draw their own conclusions.
