Why does that preclude it from being taught as a theory in school? Granted, it conflicts with a scientific theory, but it can't be proven wrong any more than evolution can be conclusively proven right. Are there any indications (other than generally fatal mutations) that we are still "evolving"? Should there be if we actually evolved? How about the seeming fact that, without modern medicine, our lifespans would be getting shorter instead of longer? God said I will make man scarcer than pure gold, more rare than the gold of Ophir. If you look at declining fertility rates in many of the "developed" countries, it would seem that this prophesy might be in the process of being fulfilled. Is it all theological bunk? Hundreds of Biblical prophesy have been fulfilled and there are only a few left that fit neatly into what is going on now. Biblical prophesy has a better percentage record than science; why be so quick to deny this "theology" a place in the classroom? Are you as adamant about the teaching of the gay agenda and other government trash?
??? These have nothing to do with the topic at hand: evolution.

1) ID can't be taught as a *scientific* theory because IS *isn't* a scientific theory, just a collection of alleged criticisms against evolution.
2) ID could be offered as a philosophical/theological idea, although with the disclaimer that there isn't a particle of concrete evidence to support it.
