I've never seen an example of what the creationist lobby wants to have added to a high school biology text, so I'm just speaking theoretically. The wording of the notion of 'intelligent design' could go so many directions.

Even Richard Dawkins, when pressed as to his thoughts on what the origin of life might be, i.e. the original cell itself, said perhaps it was brought to earth by a superior life-form in the universe somewhere.

If they want to emphasize the point that evolution is only a theory, not a fact,

I think religious folk collectively view evolution as more than theory when looking at fossil records, more in the fact camp, I would guess. What's incomplete is the fossil record of man and with that come the religious implications.
