"We dont have any better idea, so we teach this as fact."
THAT'S solid.
Seems to me, ID explains everything.
And, its entirely possible that ID happened in such a way that supports evolution.
But the fact of the matter is, Evolution isnt a fact, and teaching it as such in a strong example of intellectual dishonesty.
we're not teaching it as a fact, a lot of science is not fact. But you don't go on telling them this may nmot be right again and agian. Its a waste of time. Evolution is pretty damn close to a fact, and since there is no alternative (Evolution works the best).
ID doesn't explain any genetical or biological phenomena other than by saying a creating force created it. WOW. That does explain a lot. You should go tell oncologists that as they research for a cure to cancer. MAybe they should go find this intelligent designer, and ask how we may go by treating this disease.
As for intelligent design supporting evolution, maybe it can at a purely philosophical level. I could say that an intelligent creator used evolution as a tool to create life on earth. Ok but so what. That may be right, that may be wrong. Science doesn't care, cause that one statement doesn't matter. Introducing the factor of a higher being into science completely negates all scientific inquiry. If I can attribute life to an intelligent designer, then why not black holes or star formation or particle physics. Hell I'll have the answer to everything: intelligent designer.
that is why we don't need this ID crap in science. It doesn't help in research or application of science at all. rather it can be detrimental. WE can teach creationist stories in humantieis and english and stuff, but science is science, and we'll leave it at that. And yes, evolution very beautifully binds genetics and biology.
