People who believe that Intelligent Design Creationism is somehow deserving of being taught in science classes should read the sources below.

No. Intelligent design doesn't belong anywhere near science, science is based on proven facts and while the evolution theory isn't perfect it is based on facts that are undenyable. Intelligent design doesn't deny these facts, but states that a creator made it that way (There is no way to prove that there is a creator without underminding faith, and until its a proven fact that there is a god which is a personal belief, its theology). Now, whether you believe in intellegent design or not there are some facts to follow. Theology is the study of God and his relation to the world and obviously creator and god are the same thing the last time I looked at the word "creator". Intelligent design may or may not be a good theory, but it belongs in theology class and /not/ biology class.

how can you teach a "theory" and call it fact? theory is someones guess. and last I heard ther is no real proof that one day a monkey gave birth to a human being. why are there still monkeys and why are they not still evolving and having little human babies swinging in the trees with them and throwing their poo all around.
