I fail to see the problem with wanting to teach the best theory we have about how we got here. If nothing else it shows how the scientific method. As has been repeated too many times to count on these threads show me one experiment that supports Intelligent Design.

I think the problem is teaching it as the ONLY theory.

I've been following evolution debates for a few decades now. Here's what I've learned about the Scientific Method:

A scientist should ignore inconvenient facts.
A good scientist shouts down those who disagree with them and questions their standing to even discuss the matter.
A scientist alters their hypothesis when new evidence shows the fallacy of the hypothesis. Keeps the premise, though.
A scientist alters their NEW hypothesis when new evidence .. blah, blah, blah. Keeps the premise, though.

If this is the Scientific Method, and if Evolution shows how the Scientific Method works, then I say we should redouble our efforts to end the teaching of evolution.
