Intelligent Design
I don't think intelligent design should be considered a science because it is an idea. There is no evidence proving that we evolved from one single "intelligent" being. Evolution is backed up scientifically with fossils dating back to millions of years so it has proof that it is a science. I do believe though that everyone is entilted to their own beliefs and intelligent design may be what people choose to believe in and this shouldn't be prevented by any school. I don't think intelligent design should be ignored but I think it would be best to leave it out of any science curriculums in schools and addressed in a social science class instead.

I agree with this post. While intelligent design does have some loop holes, it should not be ignored. I think that if it is taught in school, it should be taught with the students aware that it is only a proposal and not something that is set in stone. It's important for students to have all the options out there. While it may not be a science, it does not mean people shouldn't learn about it. A lot of times, people gain more knowledge by discovering what they believe for themselves rather than accepting what everyone know is true.
I agree with what you are saying. Intelligent design is simply an idea, while other theories are based on substantial facts. even though there is no right answer, all theories should be presented in schools.
