In any practical sense we will never know what caused like to appear as it does. The strawman auguement that no science can be proved is really an attempt to elevate evolution science far above what it deserves because hard science can be reproduced in the lab while the history of a few million years ago cannot - certainly not to the level of being called (in its entirety) a fact worthy of silencing all other inquiry.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with critiquing evolution in the classroom as long as it is acedemically serious.

I assume you mean to say *life*. In a practical sense we can know a great deal about what caused life to appear as it does, your incredulity not withstanding.

It's not a straw-man, it's a fact. No theories in science are ever proved.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with critiquing evolution in the classroom as long as it is acedemically serious."

ID isn't academically serious. It's a joke, on both science and religion.
