Exactly. And if we're going to bring William of Occam into the discussion, please explain what entity must be introduced to cause the presence of organized matter, i.e. particle matter that retains its consistency from generation to generation. If it is something other than intelligent design, then what is it? IMO the simplest explanation is a single, almighty intelligence, without which all matter would disintegrate into NOTHING. If you have a simpler explanation for the presence of organzed matter I'd like to know what it is.
FC: Exactly.
Therefore, it should not be in a science class. Q friggin ED.

I'd rather not change the discussion from biology to physics. Belongs in another thread.

Whatever.
What I'm interested in here is what should be in biology texts and classes.
If I understand correctly, you've stated that there is the appearance of evolution, in particular the pattern of ERV insertions in primate genomes mimics the "family tree" that was theorized by biologists before DNA had been discovered.
So why should a designer hypothesis be feigned?
Why should Occam's Razor be violated in biology but not in other sciences?
