["Evolution either stands or falls by the strength of the evidence used to substantiate it."]

Then why the rush to censor competing theories?

Nothing's being censored. Get a grip.

As I pointed out earlier, however, people are refusing to allow lies to be told in science class. That's not censorship, that's basic academic standards.

Similarly, science journals prefer not to publish shoddy crap, which is why most "ID" articles to date (when the IDers bother to submit any at all, which is rare) get bounced -- they suck as actual science. And the reason for this is because ID itself is a pseudoscience pretending to be a real science.

"Nothing's being censored. Get a grip."

(Following quote from the article that started this thread:)

This September, the University of Idaho banned any dissent against evolution from science classes -- a slam on university biologist Dr. Scott Minnich, a noted supporter of ID.

"The school seems to be confusing where it's at,” West said. “Is it in Moscow, Idaho, or the old Moscow, Russia? ...in issuing this edict that…no view differing form evolution can be taught in any science class."

The basis of falsifiable according to the human (and how the human can externalize such mechanisms) is not necessarily the only method to discover the rules of the Universe, although a very good method.
There are many metrics, and pareto simplification is but a special case of the 'compression as intelligence' metric.
