Just for the record, "Intelligent Design" is not science. If you insist it should be discussed in school, let it be a topic in philosophy class. It is the business of science to explore and describe the physical world, it is not the job of scientists to explore who made the physical world.
The philosophy behind ID says that existence is so perfect or so complicated that there must be a "designer". If we take this one step further we must ask, who 'designed' the even more perfect "designer"?
Fact is that the overwhelming majority of the scientific community agrees that even if evolution theory is not complete or perfect, it is the accepted basis from which advances in biology and medical science come from.
In a world where our country is falling far behind in education (we were once the leaders), now is not the time to replace science with religion.
There was a time when science was pushed aside and the world was ruled by religion...it was what we now call "the dark ages"
I also apologize for getting off topic, but I find myself amazed at how easily people in this day and age are willing to reject science and swallow anything dressed in holy garb. Intelligent Design is Creationism Light and is not science. The Theory of Evolution is accepted science as is the Theory of Gravity. Feel free to believe what ever you want about God and creation, but please dont call it science.
