How is that anti-science? Nobody is saying to stop science. Study what or how things were created all you want. ID is not anti-science.
saying everything just evolved out of nothing is junk science however.
Nothing blew up and created everything- by chance. Then everything evolved. Not only is this happening even ONCE beyond all odds, but happening millions of times over is incalculable.

My response to GretchenM involved her comment that a theory should not be taught as scientific fact. That statement, taken at face value, means all of science cannot be taught. That is anti-science at it's most arrogant. The problem, I suspect, is that GretchenM doesn't know that all of science is based upon theories. Theories are the predictive explanations for observed facts. Theories are what explain observations. The observations are the facts.

Pertaining to ID, there is no scientific theory. In order to make ID a scientific theory, you have to change what science is and does. That means you must remove the objectivity from science so supernatural explanations can be proposed. That is 100% anti-science.

Your satement, "Nothing blew up and created everything- by chance. Then everything evolved." again shows you do not know what evolution means. What you say has nothing to do with evolution. Let me ask you this very simple question. What is evolution? In other words, what does it cover and what is beyond its scope? Every scientific theory has limitations that are known by scientists in those fields. Can you tell me what is scientifically out-of-bounds for evolution?
