"I.D. is not science, as it can't be tested. It's a 'faith' that something created this process. It shouldn't be taught in school alongside science."

Why is Darwin's metaphysics taught in science classes, then?

"Origin of man now proved. -- Metaphysics must flourish. - He who understands baboon would do more toward Metaphysics than Locke." --- [Charles] Darwin, Notebook M, August 16, 1838

As proudly quoted front and center by Michael T Ghiselin in his book Metaphysics and the Origin of Species

"What does evolution tell us about human nature? It tells us human nature is a superstition".

Thanks.
