Because it is masquerading as something it is not. Would you teach alchemy in a chemistry class? Astrology in an astronomy class?
Hey, why not. Just another view.
“The real question is, why dose ID scare you terribly?”
It really doesn’t scare me at all. It’s just another way of thinking about things that people don’t yet understand, but it’s not science. Science says we can figure things out without resort to a supernatural explanation. That is the essence of science. Sometimes things are very difficult to understand, and scientists struggle for decades, or centuries to come up with an explanation. That sort of thinking can be very valuable in understanding our world, and can lead to some very powerful concepts.
The fact that you are using an almost infinitely complex set of machines and electromagnetic signals to communicate virtually instantaneously worldwide with the people in this forum shows the value of the scientific method, even though very few of us can understand the science behind it. That’s why science is taught in science class, and religious studies such as intelligent design are studied elsewhere. It’s simply too important for our country to be on top of the world scientifically to corrupt scientific methodology to satisfy the desires of those who don’t want a possible contradition to their theory of creation.
