Fewer and fewer people in the general population believe in evolution. In science, we don't see the same shift. It doesn't matter that the general public doesn't like, for example, Quantum theory. If they were told about it, they would surely think physicists are on dope. That will not change the fact that QM is the single most accurate theory for predicting the outcome of experiments dealing with small particles: ever. Likewise with evolution. There is currently much more evidence for evolution than ID. In the future, maybe not, but today, yes. Pushing a theory into elementary schools, without the evidence backing, is like running straight to third base on a date. Do the work, get the evidence, publish, take the path every other scientific theory had to take before it got accepted. If ID is right, science will seismically shift behind it based on the weight of the evidence. Until then, Evolution simply has more evidence.

Wrong. Subtract the evolutionary hoaxes and deliberate lies and there is but one body of evidence but differing conclusions drawn from it. This is basic to the debate, but few evolutionists will admit it which is another indication of intellectual dishonesty.

True, which is why evolution shouldn't be forced on youngsters.
