That is why ID is doomed to fail. It is not scientific. ID is an attempt by the scientifically uninformed to use the state to force a change in an academic field against the wishes of those teaching in that field. In no other field would that be accepted - from medical schools, law schools, business schools, anything. So long as scientists and instructors of biology oppose ID, then it is doomed. It cannot succeed unless outsiders force them to change. One of the hallmarks of Western civilization is that there is an independent civil society. Forcing ID upon the biological sciences violates that independence. The inmates cannot run the asylum.
That was rather left-fieldish of you.
ID is an attempt to "scientifically prove" the existence of God. I just don't think that can be done. And if it were, then it would imply that we could invent a meter to guage the presence of God and determine His will with that device. I think that such a concept should be abhorent to any believer.
ID's just the continuation of the general dumbing down of schools. Some people don't want to learn history, some don't want to learn English, some don't want to learn science.
