The goal of the people who designed ID was to make it consonant with Christian views. That isn't how science works. Theistic science is an oxymoron damaging to both theism and science. It is no more possible than light darkness.
Quite correct. The ID proponents are beginning to remind me of the Mullahs in Iran - reverse course, throw out all progress that has been made since the 7th Century.
Nobody is preventing Christians from teaching their children about ID (though it certainly won't do them any good when they take their SATs). But the Constitution does not permit public schools to teach religion in science class.
If ID is really a viable scientific theory, why isn't it taught in Catholic schools? Because even the Pope knows that belief in a supreme being and Darwin are not incompatible - they just don't belong in science class.
