Evolution may be a theory, and ID may not be, but evolution is not the only side of the coin. Since there is no proof to support evolution, then it is no more valid than ID, so both sides should be presented, let the student decide what to believe. Are you Darwinist so insecure in your theory, that you are afraid that if ID was presented people might use their free will and choose for themselves? I guess it's happening, that theory is Communist in nature, and the end thereof is destruction, and or a lack of independent thought.

"Evolution may be a theory, and ID may not be, but evolution is not the only side of the coin."

Scientifically speaking it is.

"Since there is no proof to support evolution, then it is no more valid than ID, so both sides should be presented, let the student decide what to believe."

There are mountains of evidence supporting evolution. ID has ZERO. Not even close.

"I guess it's happening, that theory is Communist in nature, and the end thereof is destruction, and or a lack of independent thought."

Why didn't you just start out with the moronic communist remark so we could have ignored you from the beginning? :)

Please go back and read the definition of a theory in my earlier post. It will make a great deal of what goes on in science much clearer for you. Short version: theories are well-supported explanations, having withstood many tests, and they are never proved. There is no higher level in science than a good theory.

The fact that a theory cannot be proved (and the theory of evolution has not been proved) does not make it the equivalent of ID. ID has to go through the same process as any other idea, starting at the bottom and working its way up through scientific testing. If it can, it will be included automatically. If it cannot, and it has not to date, it does not qualify to be be included in science.
