Do not mistake my objection. If my neighbors and their children wish to believe in Intelligent Design as a matter of faith that is fine with me. What I object to most strenuously is the presentation of a religious belief as a scientific theory in a science class.

I feel the same way about Macro Evolution. Test it for me, and prove to me it works. If you can't test it (you can't) then it isn't science.

Sure, I wouldn't want to force the teaching of evolution in Sunday School.

Oh wait, that's not what you meant.

You've made an absolute statement that there is no evidence for evolution. This is incorrect. The theory is tested every time a fossil is dug out of the ground. As of yet, no fossils have disproved the theory.

A scientific theory can never be proven. A theory is an explanation for observed facts. If you believ that a theory must be proven to be science, then either you do not believe in any science or you do not understand the definition of a sceintific theory. There are millions of pages of research published in the scientific literature of tests and predictions of evolution. THey are freely available in the libraries of any major university. Or, you can download them from the publishers for $10-20 per article.
