Wrong. That is a lie. Life must exist before evolution can occur. There is no other way. Sorry. The only mixed-goo story I am aware of is found in Genesis. Do many Evolutionists believe in Big Bang and spontaneous/non-Deity life? Yes. That in NO WAY means that evolution covers the origins of life, or the universe, or chive cream cheese.
Intelligent design is a scientific alternative to evolution.
No, it is NOT. It is certainly an alternative, but it is not, not, not, not, not science. I've seen the "peer reviewed" journal you are discussing. It's one article, IIRC. It's about as solid as Phrenology.
Neither science or Religion have proof of the creation of life and/or matter. Teach them both or teach none of them and may the best man/woman win.
Just because you say its not science does not make it so.
Tell me, how does evolution work without the Earth being a zillion of years old? How does an old earth theory work without the Big Bang theory?
