[QUOTE="Mike Brown, post: 66570, member: 1310"] Re: You're welcome. You don't think that children get enough of it in churches? It could be taught in literature classes, or history classes, but NOT science classes. And it certainly should not be framed as a viable "rival theory" to evolution. And if it was taught it would need to be taught alongside all the other popular origin myths.... like the native american ones, the muslim ones, the buddhist ones etc etc etc "Intelligent Design" as a phrase/political movement is EXACTLY christian belief. It would take you less than 10 minutes of research to confirm this for yourself. If you are trying to have a belief that does not include the christian form of god/creationism... or perhaps substitutes another god (e.g. allah) then you are NOT arguing for "Intelligent Design". If you use the phrase "intelligent design" to mean such a thing, then you are hijacking the term to mean something it doesn't. And even then if you are arguing for ID or something similar but lacking a specific christian god... it still lacks any scientific evidence which would make it a viable alternative scientific theory to evolution.
