Teaching ID in the schools is akin to teaching girls that babies are brought by a stork. If stork birth were included in school health classes would there be outrage?

Of course. ID is the same.

Aristotle - you remember the famous Greek philosopher, a man of science and reason ? - wrote, long before the existence of the Bible and Genesis, that there was a First (or Prime) Mover. If you haven't ever read any of Aristotle's "Physics", he observed that movement of one body acts and moves another body, but that this had a beginning, which he posited as the Prime Mover.

Get a life, folks. ID, evolution or the First Mover are only theories about how life started and developed. All have their pros and cons. Evolution is not a slam-dunk, and nor is ID. They are simply theories or ways to describe what we think may have happened based on some types of observations.

Actually this is a lousy analogy. One can prove over and over that babies are born instead of being brought by storks just by spending a weekend in a birthing room at a hospital. One cannot prove that ID is wrong. There is no birthing room. No proof that it is wrong.
