Again, you're getting yourself worked into a lather over an innocuous, tentative summary regarding organized matter in the physical universe. Do you really think it is the sworn duty of all people to restrict ideas by law? Although the idea of intelligent design is in accord with religious teachings rearding an Almighty Creator, that hardly necessitates sectarian teaching in the classroom. It is apparent you do not trust people to think for themselves, but would prefer to use the law to keep them from thinking differently than you do. We have words for that kind of person, and they do not include "scientist."

Your ignorance is invincible!

Ideas aren't restricted by law, Fester. There's no law anywhere that says you can't entertain any half-baked notion you'd like. Just don't expect the people who actually know something about the subject to be impressed. What you are trying to do is join a game of poker and demand to beat a straight flush with a two of clubs, a three of diamonds, a five of hearts, a valentine and a deed to the Short Line Railroad.

Although the idea of intelligent design is in accord with religious teachings rearding an Almighty Creator, that hardly necessitates sectarian teaching in the classroom.

Unfortunately, the "idea of intelligent design" is also in accord with an grotesquely inept creator. In other words, it means whatever anyone wants it to mean. It's utterly worthless as a scientific explanation for anything.

You're on your own when it comes to religious "rearding."

It is apparent you do not trust people to think for themselves, but would prefer to use the law to keep them from thinking differently than you do. We have words for that kind of person, and they do not include "scientist."

Is that supposed to be some kind of threat?

I'm not worried, though, because your vocabulary doesn't interest me in the least, as it has only the most distant relationship to English even in the rare instances when your words have consistent meanings. You have again ignored all the tests a theory must meet to be considered science. You want science to be whatever makes you feel good. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
