Now to return to the argument of Intelligent Design.
I read the book "Darwin's Black Box" and believe that there are valid observations in it.
When I was in High School, the parts of a cell were, the cell wall, the nucleaus, and protoplasm.
It is obvious that there has been a lot learned since Darwin's time and my time in High School. That there are other observations on what is in a cell and how they work is not an attack on previous theory, except as it is taught as dogma.
It only expands the universe of study to have other explanations and theories both right and wrong. How can science advance if nobody presents anything new.
How is it teaching "Creationism" or "Religeon" to point out that there is additional information that should be considered?
New things are being presented all the time. A lot of it is evolutionary stuff.

This question doesn't make sense, Dan.

Let's extend your idea to all 'new controversies' we can imagine: For instance,
I do not believe in the Pythagorean Theorem--there are gaps in the proof, I do not accept your proof, and I think triangles can have more than 180 degrees. Obviously God designed triangles, and my belief in God trumps geometry. This 'controversy' will help all students who fail their geometry tests!
I do not believe in gravity. We accept that gravity makes apples on earth fall, but it is angels that push the planets around. Saying otherwise is merely circular reasoning. Teach the controversy!
Why are students required to believe in atoms and molecules? There is not a single mention of them in the Bible, nor in the Declaration of Independence. Electrons and atomic forces promote atheism and moral relativism in the public schools. Teach the controversy!
I've never been confident about airplanes staying up. Some say that it is due to secular engineering. NASA and Boeing engineers are of the elite. Who would believe them? I suspect faeries. Teach the controversy!
