One could go on and on, what we need are more questions being asked rather than the crude attempt to shoehorn all thinking into a box called "natural selection" by people who are barely removed from the religiousness of those creationists they scorn.

And that's what all this boils down to, ultimately. They teach evolution in school like it's some kind of fact, when the truth is that it's a theory, not a theorem. Now, I don't have a problem in principle with evolution being taught in school as long as it's taught that it's a theory, and not fact. Same goes for ID. Personally, I'm a young earth creationist, but I don't see any reason not to discuss various theories in a science class, as long as we are clear that they are unproven theories.

The problem you run into is interesting, and ironic. The bottom line is that evolutionists have more faith than me and most of my friends in the church. Amazing. They have more blind faith in evolution than some of the most fire and brimstone preachers I've ever met. Evolutionism is a religion. Period. And evolutionists act accordingly. And, hey, that's OK. This is America, where a man can have any kind of religion he wants. It isn't a crime. But if we're going to talk about an unproven theory of evolution in schools, I don't see why we can't talk about an unproven theory of creationism or ID. Seems fair enough to me.

No problem. It is call the evolutionary theory. Be happy.

Evolution has evidence to back it up. Creationism does not. It's not about faith at all.
