-- but it is reasonable to say that evolution is thoroughly supported by a vast weight of scientific evidence and research.

This statement is absolutely false and in fact the opposite is true. The vast weight of scientific evidence and research supports intelligent design. Understand too that what has raised the heckles and upped the ante has been the tendency of the evolutionists to refer to their teaching as 'the fact of evolution', not 'the theory of evolution'. However, be that as it may, both have to be accepted on faith as no one can go back thousands, millions or billions of years to see what went on way back then. Here's the conclusion that I've come to as far as this subject for public and high schools. I don't think that it is necessary to teach either - and in fact neither should be taught as 'origins' has nothing to do with understanding the science of anything. Here's the human eye - here's how it works, here's how it relates to the rest of the body, the biology of it, differences from one eye to the next etc etc - where did it come from? Oh, that's a mystery and we don't need to go there to understand the eye. Ban both evolutionary and creation teaching from the public classroom. As a matter of fact, ban public education.

Please enlighten me as to what exactly ID predicts and how our current set of observational data show that these predictions of ID are true.

Not that you've bothered to support this assertion.

Ban both evolutionary and creation teaching from the public classroom. Great idea. Ban the teaching of evolution, because it makes people uncomfortable!

Here's the human eye - here's how it works, here's how it relates to the rest of the body, the biology of it, differences from one eye to the next etc etc - where did it come from? Oh, that's a mystery and we don't need to go there to understand the eye.

I'm sorry, but I do hope that you're not serious, because that is truly one of the more disgusting sentiments that I've heard in these discussions.
