No, it shouldn't. A proper science class will explain the scientific method
and then deal with science. The problem is that science is being used as a
hammer to beat those who believe in God by saying that God does not exist
(something they have never and can never prove so is outside of science). In
response, the religious (or some of them) push for their side over science.
What's needed is good teaching guidelines, not fights.
As an aside, you can't scientifically prove love, poetry, hate, or a very
large number of other things. Science examines the world, the physical, the
tangible. It has deeeeep problems with the psychological, metaphysical, etc.
Anyone who foolishly says that science disproves God should be asked to
prove love. :)

And thus...shouldn't be taught in a public science classroom.

Wow....we've finally come full circle :)

  I really havn't read most of the discussion, but yes, testing for the
  existance of God is outside the realm of science.

  sounds like a good summation of the discussion to me.

  To add one point though,

  Ergo it is not within the realm of Science therefore not a topic of
  scientific investigation.
