tigerpaw, re:a hypothesis is also required to conform to the known facts and be testable. No - a hypothesis is something taken to be true for the purpose of argument or investigation, aka an assumption. The proofs or tests of "Intellegent design" are thin to put it mildly. re: It's not usefull to force students to address every crackpot idea It's very useful to have an understanding of current theories or popular thought. Of course not every "crackpot" idea - they forced a number of popular ideas in our heads when I was in grade school - like the population bomb which fell flat due to bad/junk science - but at the time everyone believed it and the author was hailed a genius.
