I am neither ignorant, nor dishonest. The theory of evolution began as a way to explain life without God. What passes as science, in many cases, doesn't even make sense (e.g. that the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon).

The theory of Intelligent Design (without being religion) states that the intricacy of life could not have begun without some form of Creator. You know, like a watch doesn't just 'happen' just because you give it enough time. It needs a designer.

It should be taught alongside evolution.

The problem continues to be that theory is taught as fact, and it's not........it's theory.

Errtalk about your self-contradictory two sentences :-)

So you're an actual Young-Earth Creationist, I'm guessing? Those are getting rare (fortunately.)

I'm not name-calling. I'm stating a simple fact.

No, it began as a way to explain why certain species had traits in common with one another, while still carrying enough different traits to be considered different species.

It has nothing to do with any gods. It was never an attempt to explain away any gods.

What passes as science, in many cases, doesn't even make sense (e.g. that the Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon).

Explain why this does not make sense.

The theory of Intelligent Design (without being religion) states that the intricacy of life could not have begun without some form of Creator. You know, like a watch doesn't just 'happen' just because you give it enough time. It needs a designer.

Okay, you've got a premise. Explain how the "Intelligent Design" theory can be tested. State observations that should result from these tests and state what observations, if seen, would falsify the theory.

It should be taught alongside evolution.

Not until the above criteria is met.

You may not be ignorant nor dishonest, but your next statement is false. This makes it hard to believe your first statement.
