Where in our Constitution does it tell us to bend our knees to Christianity, which is being promoted through Intelligent Design whether you want to admit it or not?

Intelligent Design is to the Right what the Global Warming/Second Hand Smoke crowd is to the left: a pox on the hard sciences.

Teach intelligent design in mythology or metaphysics. In the hard sciences, however, let REASON prevail.

Where in our Constitution does it tell us to bend our knees to Christianity . . .

It doesn't. And anyone who attempts to establish Christianity as the only religion to be taught in public schools by law should be opposed. The public schools are for everyone, including atheists. Intelligent design is not a distinctly "Christian" idea. It just happens to agreee with Christian teaching.

What, exactly, is unreasonable about attributing intelligent design to the presence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws?

The really ironic thing is at the end of your post you say to let "reason" prevail. Yes, I agree - let reason, not blind hyperbole (as demonstrated above), prevail.

REASON does prevail, and REASON proclaims that God exists. It is so self-evident that to deny the evidence of God requires a greater leap of faith than not believing. Perhaps God is science writ on such a large scale that feeble human minds can not yet comprehend. A better use of reason would be to first try to understand the creator, and only then attempt to unravel the secrets of His creation using the keys He has provided.
