The 'small difference twixt' creationism & intelligent design is nothing but window dressing. Despite the claim, there is nothing scientific about the idea of intelligent design being the explanation for the origin of the universe.
Yeah, if you want to teach intelligent design and/or creationism, then go ahead...in a class on comparative religions, not in a science class. And yes, it's a great idea to teach this in an explanatory and factual manner as possible. "This" is what some people believe, "This other" is what other people believe, "and this over here is what still others believe", etc.
