How does Intelligent Design explain how bacteria develop antibiotic resistance? How does it explain the existence of the vermiform appendix? How are its explanations more useful than the existing theory of evolution by natural selection?
And if science courses should give "equal time" to a religious theory, then all churches should give half their services over to a biology lecture.
You're obviously a victim of the public education system.
"How does Intelligent Design explain how bacteria develop antibiotic resistance?"
Both design and evolution agree its microevolution. It's in the genetic code for such changes to occur, but no code to turn into a compleltely new organism. Oh yeah, design tells us the common sense that the information in DNA is designed.
" How does it explain the existence of the vermiform appendix?"
HAven't you heard? Science found uses for the appendix years ago.
"And if science courses should give "equal time" to a religious theory,"
Well, its not a religious theory any more than evolution is. Scientific theories always have religious implications. Get over it.
