Exactly my point. If the TOE doesn't care who started life, why should they care (like you admit they do not) whether ID is taught or not? It does not circumvent the TOE's basic assumptions, correct? Why all the stink? Bottom line, it has to be the origin of life that is at the crux of the dispute. And both evolution and ID are theories for that creation of life, and as such, both are religious philosophies.
The only stink arises when ID'ers want ID taught in a science class. It's absolutely not science. Teach ID all day long - where it should be taught - in a religion class.
And both evolution and ID are theories for that creation of life, and as such, both are religious philosophies.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. See? No matter how many times you keep repeating that lie, I can refute it, easily. Just grab a dictionary.
