Separation of Church and State Equals Separation of Truth and State?

David at A Physicist's Perspective has had several interesting posts on the topic of Intelligent Design. In the latest he takes apart Instapundit's criticism of ID through very basic logical reasoning. I appreciated most his last paragraph:

If there were scientific evidence God had created (and Darwinism is wrong), would it still violate separation of church and state? (I'm not suggesting teaching any particular religion; just teaching that perhaps God created). If your answer is no, then your issue is with whether the evidence is good enough to support teaching it -- not with whether it violates the separation of church and state. And if your answer is yes, that means you would support teaching children something that the evidence (in my hypothetical) suggested was wrong because of the principle of separation of church and state -- which seems strange. - here and here

How does one compare such topics as teology and science? They are irrelevant to one another. Science is hypothesis where theology is faith. So we can't argue "if one why not the other". Sceince will never be a religion, and religion can't be taught. Theology on the other hand can be taught and it is in an unbiast way.
