Good. Intelligent design doesn't belong in science classes.

Intelligent design doesn't belong in science classes.

Neither does evolution when they try to teach it as fact, when it's merely an unproven theory.

Nor does evolution. Evolution is one of the least supportable theories in existence. The fossil history is non-existent as are any examples of current evolution.
The core theory of evolution is that the progress of all life began with the "Big Bang". This is wildly mad if you consider that the singularity, from which the Big Bang arose, is expressed as a area the size of a ball point pen ball, in which all matter existed and none of the laws of physics applied.
One must ask as to where the singularity came from in the first instance.
Evolution sounds like faith instead of science.

And a 200 year old unproven Theory of Evolution does?

Good? If we're here only as a result of dumb luck then there really is no "good" in the first place, and the sentiment is self-refuting. There is only one's personal preference, which apparently a judge and you think should be imposed on every government school. Do you really think it is a good idea for a court to not only to decide for the whole country what is and is not religion, but what is and is not science, which philosphers of science cannot even determine? Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.

Cordially,

I plead ignorance on many of the points surrounding this issue, but I must ask: If a discussion of Intelligent Design were to focus say on the various fantastically fine-tuned cosmological constants, ratios, and initial conditions required to support a universe and life as we know it... isn't this science? We can certainly find plenty of books on this topic in the "Cosmology" and "Science" sections of the bookstore. Hasn't this always been the main segue into Designer Universe/ID?

Evolution doesn't belong in a science class being taught as fact either.
