I can only say that the problem is this:
that evolution is a scientific theory inferring no supernatural force, while intelligent design (the way most people are trying to teach it) is an attempt to bring the supernatural in to the natural sciences. I have a very great problem with that.

While ID can be studied scientifically, it is pretty clear that most people who are "for" teaching it wouldn't understand a scientific experiment if you clubbed them over the head with it. My husband is fascinated by self assembly, and this topic, but I don't think there is a hope in heck of it being presented in any way that would help American students in the sciences. I'm not for the dumbing down of American students- and I think it's an important issue. Now it might fit neatly into comparative religion, or even into a class on artificial intelligence and computer design- but to attempt to teach this to elementary school children is just a first step to religious indoctrination.
