Science should consider the hypotheses and the evidence. There are two hypotheses with regard to the origin of life and the origin of higher life forms:

1. They were designed by an intelligence.
2. They developed as a consequence of natural processes.

To not consider the first hypothesis and examine the evidence in favor of that hypothesis, limits science and reduces it to dogma.

The only reason to limit examination of the first hypothesis by science is an "apriori conviction and devotion" to the theory of natural processes. And that faith on the part of evolutionists is what doesn't belong in the science classroom.

You can repeat your claim as many times as you wish, but ID is not a hypothesis that can be tested by science. Why do you thing the Discovery Institute backed out of the trial?

It's because they admit they have no way of researching their claims.

There are two hypotheses with regard to the origin of life and the origin of higher life forms:

1. They were designed by an intelligence.
2. They developed as a consequence of natural processes.

Not to mention:

3. They developed as a consequence of an intelligently designed process.
4. Some combination of 1., 2., 3.
