There is a lot of bias and blindness on both sides. The religious element of society is to large to ignore. Better to understand it's impact on our lives then to rage about how wrong proponents of ID are.

ID should perhaps be taught in anthropological or historical classes. But it has no place in a scientific discussion as a "alternative view". It's not a scientific theory...it's a faith-based fairy tale. There is nothing falsifiable about ID's claims and it therefore can not be subject to hypothesis, correction through testing or debate. "God dun it" does not signify a "theory" on anything, and shouldn't be legitimated as such.
