I think the problem with evolution is not so much what is taught in schools, but the fact that no other explanation is permitted to even be considered.

Develop a competing scientific theory that fits the evidence, and it will be considered. "An unknown advanced entity did something at some point in the past" does not qualify.

...it will be considered.

I don't mean to be argumentative, but I don't believe that it will.

"An unknown advanced entity did something at some point in the past" does not qualify.

Interestingly, that is the best scientific explanation for many ancient projects. Stonehenge, mounds, giant desert art, Easter Island, etc. Those things are studied by scientists to figure out who did what, when and how. Scientists are not afraid to assume that the figures on Easter Island were "Intelligently Designed" and to study the evidence to see what can be discovered about the process. Every evo I have seen discussing this topic refuses to admit that it is possible to scientifically study something that was "Intelligently Designed".

Clearly, ID and science are not incompatible. ID has not be rigorously studied, not because it is impossible to study, but because those in control of acedemia refuse to allow anyone off the evo plantation.
