CF, is evolution taught as theory or fact? Is the Big Bang concept taught as theory or fact?

I just learned that the push to include teaching the theory of intelligent design in a school curriculum originated from within the scientific community, not the religious community. It started in the 90s.

Apparently there are well-credentialed scientists who in their work (quite a bit of it in DNA molecular science) saw more evidence of design as opposed to randomness. They are agnostic with regard to religion. I got over my head scientifically within a few paragraphs, but found it interesting as I had assumed the push was by the strictly religious.

At any rate, their argument is that the teaching of ID as theory is justifiable, particularly since evolution and the Big Bang are taught as theory.
