The point is that I would be willing to evaluate—and as a taxpayer would feel better served—by a critique of all the contending theories. If creationists merely wished to include a unit on the intelligent design community’s critique of evolution, how would that be threatening?

I understand and respect that, but creationism has to actually qualify as a theory first. Creationists will not have an answer to my previous question, so creationism is not a scientific theory. It is entirely consistent, in my view, to believe that God created everything, and that he chose the mechanism of evolution to get us here.

A fine sentiment, but there are no alternate theories contending with evolution. This in not my opinion; it is the opinion of the Discovery Institute and the leading proponents of Intelligent Design.

The desire to believe that intervention occurred in the history of living things is not a theory.
