Picture a kid in Texas who wants to be a doctor. Make sure she goes to a top Christian university in the same state. The highschool she's in says that evolution is just a theory, but in college she's given a very different picture. This suggests that Texas schools do not prepare the doctors of tomorrow with an education in line with their own top Christian medical school. This very real situation means that our society's healers will learn and then discard useless information.
In addition, Biology created by the alternative theory to evolution of intelligent design will not heal anyone. Evolutionary biology has created gene therapies that are currently making people more healthy and will continue to cure more diseases into the foreseeable future. Its not that creationism or intelligent design is fundamentally incorrect or impossible, its that there is no application; the principles derived from these ideas are not testable in a laboratory nor do they provide new information or a new perspective on current information.
As a required curriculum for students in Texas or any other state, it seems therefore to be a waste of time. Support real science to get actual results.
