Having acknowledged that standard, advocates of ID must now demonstrate how hypotheses based on it can be tested by experiment or observation. Otherwise, ID isn't science.

Please, someone, demonstrate how that can be done by evolution as well.

"Please, someone, demonstrate how that can be done by evolution as well."

Yes, let's have a little "evolution farm" and "ID farm" like ant farms.

Evolution can never ever be proved, and ID (from what I've read) is basically showing holes in the theory of evolution. The only way either could be proved is by going back in time. What I don't understand is why teachers cannot, if they have to teach/want to teach the theory of evolution, such as it is, simply point out that some scientists consider the TOE to have some holes, and discuss those holes.

This has nothing to do with teaching "religion" in schools.

Although bringing the dreaded word "God" into the classroom isn't exactly Congress passing a law establishing a state religion.
