"Intelligent design," takes both creationism and evolution into consideration and blends them into a congruent theory. "Intelligent design," teaches that evolution did happen, but it was guided by a higher source then just happenstance. It explains that God must have guided evolution to eventually lead to where we are now, or where we will be eventually in the future.

Intelligent design has been determined to be religion in disguise by a U.S. Federal District Court, and has been determined not to be science by the overwhelming majority (probably 99.5%+) of the relevant scientific community.

Abortion has been found to be a fundamental Constitutional right by the US Supreme Court. I guess that makes it true.

“Intelligent design has been determined to be religion in disguise by a U.S. Federal District Court”

There’s no disguise. Of course it’s a religious position. How could saying “God did it” not be a matter of religion?

“and has been determined not to be science by the overwhelming majority (probably 99.5%+) of the relevant scientific community.”

Of course it’s not science. How could “God did it” be science? Science is inadequate to explore the metaphysical.

That said, the dogma, “Evolution proves there is no God” shares both those traits. It is religion, and it is not science.

So long as we are not burning educators at the stake for teaching, conveying, implying, or in any way communicating that notion, ID belongs in any classroom where first causes are discussed.

It’s not necessary to spend a lot of time on it; one need only communicate that there is an alternative to the orthodoxy of the God-haters, in which Academia is steeped.
