I disgree. Long before the current body of test data had reached its current volume, each of those other theories, were still considered a theory. Just because you may not agree with the amount of, or the extent of, the test data and rational given for ID, does not make that data any less relevant than what was present in the ealry stages of the other theories. Begging your pardon, but what data for ID?!
There isn't any test data. It's a hypothesis. It's not testable, it makes no predictions, and it's not falsifiable. The only way it could be compared to "other theories" is to redefine the word, since ID hasn't met the basic standards.
As I said, if you disagree (and it sounds like you do), fine. I have no qualms with that. The entire arguement about what should or should not be taught in public schools is, as far as I am concerned, outweighed by the very arguement as to whether our "public" schools in their current form should even be opperating and coersing the public largess.
People should be able to spend their hard earned monies on an education that meets with their personal beliefs as long as the basic math, reading and writing skills are met. I believe a charter or private school that wants to teach ID should be allowed to, and that parents should have the vouchers/freedom to spend their money in that manner if they so choose.
