Actually, what's being opposed are the attempts to *force* science teachers to teach it against their better judgment

Since when does a Science teacher pass Judgement on a "Theory"?

Science is only as good as It's consideration of all Possabilities.

No teacher has the right to Omit a Theory just because they dont believe it. thats Bias with a Preconcieved conclusion.

Thats Poor Science.

You are an Idiot.

Since always. Not too clear on that "academic freedom" concept, are you?

Science is only as good as It's consideration of all Possabilities.

And it does consider all possibilities. It then rules out many of them because they are incompatible with the evidence, and/or make predictions which are subsequently falsified by testing.

Try to remain coherent -- you keep flip-flopping between what science does, and what teachers do. You *are* aware that science is generally done by researchers, and not by high school science teachers, aren't you?

And no, science teachers are not Omitting a Theory (you Really Like Capital leTTerS, DoN'T YOu?) "just because they don't believe it". They are omitting it (I presume you mean "ID") because a) it's not actually a scientific theory, and b) its (few and paltry) predictions have been falsified. In short, this has nothing to do with science teachers leaving out ID "just because" they don't believe it, they're leaving it out because it's not valid science.

If you disagree, do feel free to be the very first person to actually state the "theory of ID" in a manner which actually meets the minimum requirements of a scientific theory. We'll wait.

So try to get a clue, please.

Thats Poor Science.

No, actually, it's good science. (Or should that be "Good Science" with the CaPiTALs OvErDoNE?) Too bad you really don't know what science is or is not.

You are an Idiot.

Strange, that's not what all my IQ test results indicate. Perhaps you're mistaken. Or perhaps you're just unable to make a better argument and are thus reduced to just spewing a grade-school level insult, no matter how trite and ridiculous.
