What you don't want, is a teacher evangelizing a specific religion over the other. Intelligent design points out the complex patterns of the universe and the symmetry. Sort of like a Mysteries of the Universe class. And that's Scientific. This is not unconstitutional nor is it wrong.

If this is true, so does tarot cards and crystal balls.

Intelligent design says that a higher being made the universe. That's a nice, feel good thought. And I think it's true too. But there's simply no evidence of it. You have to believe in God by faith. Not because your science teacher said so.

Unfortunately, nature is notsymmetric, and there is no evidence that the complexity of the universe can be attributed to a designer, when randomness provide a more elegant and logically consistent explanation.

No. Yes. No.

ID "points out" there's this (nudge, nudge, wink, wink), Intelligent Designer. Without any evidence or proof of same, except empty statements about how things are 'way too fancy to have just happened that way. It's neither scientific nor logical.

I suppose a college level "Stuff We Don't Know (Ingnorance 405)" might be of some value, but teachers are having enough trouble trying to teach high school kids things we do know.
