Doesn't matter if it true that logic and fact show forth that there had to be a designer, a lie has precedence. The important thing is that we have a blackout of any mention of the possibility of there being a creator. Atheism is the religion of the public school. A blind dogma that cannot be questioned.
If you are to envision species separation process - think of two subspecies [which could by definition interbreed], where due to accumulating differences the hybrids possess less and less fertility, finally becoming sterile [like mule]. Under these conditions interbreeding between the subspecies becomes evolutionary dead end, and thus stops. As soon as it stops, you have two different species. And unless you have complete genomes, tracing such subspecies from scarce fossils is a thankless proposition.
"Don't bible at me in public school". Actually it has certain rhythm to it and could be made into a song line. Designer is not logical - for who/what then had designed that designer? In logic it is called "reductio ad infinitum", and such arguments are fellatious.
Or do you think it is your intellect that we should fear?
Maybe you should fear your own intellect.
About 100 Myr [million years] ago. But learn to lose with class. Judge Jones took a broom and swept ID out of science class. As a science ID has no merit. As a theology, it might have some. He was not trying to sweep evolution theory into the curricula of seminaries or Sunday schools. To each one's own - render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.
why hasn't it happened since? To each one's own? The public School Sytem is all of ours, but I guess only your viewpoint stands.
In this universe you are right, for there to be something that is nearly infinitely complex and finished in order to properly function, protect itself and reproduce their must be a designer. God is outside of this universe. He lives in a realm that is different from what you see and know. He lives in the realm of eternity not time. He created time. He sees and knows all things from the beginning to the end. You must think and understand that God is "outside of this box" and even created it. He is I AM THAT I AM.

Such a realm as you describe is out of this world and thus is meaningless and non-existing for the purposes of science. Let scholastic theologians debate and research it to their hearts' content in their seminaries, madrassas, yeshivas and so on. No objections on my part, and, as far as I am aware, on Judge Jones'.

It isn't dependent on evolution in the least.
It appears from your statement that you do not believe in common descent; or do you? And would tht be common descent or universal common descent?
Science deals in cause and effect. You know that there is wind because of the effect it has on mass but you cannot weigh wind or see it. Scientist are trying to determine if there is intelligent life in the universe by detecting radio waves that are in patterns. If they found such waves which they are diligently seeking after they would make an educated, logical assumption that there is intelligent life somewhere else in the universe even if they could not see, measure or study that life. Because there is excessive amounts of design in this universe that cannot be explained except by a designer you can make the intelligent, logical and as close to an irrefutable assumption as science can make that there is an intelligent designer. This obvious fact will have huge impact on much of how science conducts itself and will revolutionize the study of science with the truth. No longer will large amounts of time and money and energy be put into useless studies about the origins of the universe. The "glasses" of the fact that the universe is created by an intelligent designer will revolutionize and rejuvenate science as nothing else could do in ways that right now are beyond our imagination. The understanding of man will opened up.

The solution is to have parents pay for the education of their children. If they want their children to believe that they are descended from rats and cockroaches, fine.
If they can’t afford to pay for their children’s education, they should be given vouchers
BTW all these evolutionist, when they see death approaching, I would like to see how firm their faith is.
