If you didn't see my direct answer to that question, you either aren't trying to read what I've said or you are trying to avoid it.

Now, in answer to your other questions:

Are the flaws fairly presented? Yes. In every single biology class I've ever had, in public schools from elementary school through college.

Is the evidence that supports the ID hypothesis fairly presented? Well, that question is kind of hard to answer since you won't indentify what evidence you are referencing, or what you think isn't being fairly presented, but my answer based upon evidence that I could argue supports the hypothesis is an unequivocal yes - as well as evidence that undermines the hypothesis.

As far as the supposed debate you reference, you are pretty loose with your description - there is no one in the 'upper echelons' of the science community who does not believe in the theory of natural selection as presented by Darwin. No one.

You're right and I'm sorry. I overlooked your answer. I'm not trying to avoid anything.

Are the flaws fairly presented? Yes. In every single biology class I've ever had, in public schools from elementary school through college.

Happy to hear that.

If that's the case, this needn't be an issue for the courts/school boards. You were fortunate if you had a fair presentation of both positions. Hopefully you're wise enough to see why I wouldn't get into an Darwinian vs. I.D. argument on particulars on this thread. Smarter minds than you and I will be arguing their positions long after we're gone.

There are books and papers written to the contrary, some have even run the gauntlet and have appeared in scientific journals. You can go to many websites for more information, some w/o a religious bent. I would agree that those who hold the power are totally committed to naturalism which disallows what doesn't conform to their philosophy. I feel like I've made my case for better or for worse as best I can, so if you want to last word, go for it..... and Happy Thanksgiving!
