69% want Intelligent Design taugtht!!!!

That is not what this survey says at all.

I am in that 69%. I want teachers to teach all evidence both for and against.

I do *not* beleive that ID is 'evidence'. I do not believe there is any evidence *supporting* ID. If you can find any, then teachers should teach it.

But saying, "This is too complex" is not evidence.

How about the idea that there had to be a catalyst for the change to occur. Even if you believe in evolution, something had to have made it happen, same with the big bang theory (which is not the T of E)

So the teachers should teach that there had to be Someone who caused everything to happen.

The problem with that argument, which comes up frequently, is that IDers are challenged to find evidence to support ID, which said evidence evolutionists have already decided doesn't exist, so no matter what IDers come up with, even if it is *real* evidence, the evolutionists have detemined it to be *invalid*, therefore *not evidence*. They've demanded the impossible from IDers and then mocked them for not being able to accomplish it.

The fact that the evolutionists have ahead of time decided that there is no evidence for ID shows their close mindedness. If they were open minded, they'd at least consider what was presented to them BEFORE rejecting it, not rejecting it off hand, BEFORE considering it.
