Well, I understand the theory of evolution. If a child were to ask me about it, I could explain it in a reasonable way and provide multiple examples.
Right now, I can't do that with the ID theory because I simply don't understand it. I asked someone else whether or not it is religious dogma or scientific theory. I think after seeing most of the responses on this thread, the former seems to be the answer.
Well that's pretty easy to figure out. You started this thread by posing a religious question. One you aren't prepared to answer concerning evolution. Actually the truth is, the answer to this question is readily supplied by the curriculum in most cases, and is at the entire heart of this controversy. Several states, Kansas and Ohio come to mind, are addressing the problem of athiesm being taught as the official religion of the State in high school classrooms under the guise of "science".
