It belongs not in a biology class but in a theology class, or maybe in the class dealing with the history of religion and culture, together with the flat earth resting on the backs of three gigantic elephants, the solid vault of heavens separating the waters below from waters above, or the astronomy of Dante's "Paradiso".

There is absolutely NO PROOF for Evolution, so what is that doing in the schools?
Not in the public school system. No way they're gonna teach religion.
The question is to whom the schools belong? To the people or to the cast of scientists who follow the religion of science/reason/progress in Hegelian fashion? The logical and full implementation of this scientific theocracy was Soviet Union.
I believe that God could have created the world using evolution and the laws of nature appointed by Him. (And He even could have change the past if it pleased Him. He is the Boss.)
But if the Fundamentalist Protestants want to put their literal ideas into schools in the districts they are in majority WHO has right to deny them their right.
There is no science nor Hegel nor Marxism in the Constitution.
ID is not a theory. It is a major criticism of darwinism, and it does not require a God for there to be intelligent design. It only requires an organizing principle.
One already proposed organizing principle is natural selection. It does not answer the mail. The complexity to too great to accept natural selection as the organizing principle.
There needs to be another principle proposed that is more intentional.
