Sorry guys, but no matter what your faith is, ID has no place being taught in our public schools. The goal of a school is to prepare the students for the real world / college, and evolution is an undeniable fact. ID/Creationism has no scientific evidence to support it, period. There are no accepted "alternative views" in the scientific community. This is not from lack of consideration or study. This is because all biological evidence supports evolution / natural selection.
I mean, we'd think it was foolish to teach alternate versions of World War 2 in History class, or alternate versions of English (ebonics) in Grammar class; why in the hell is it a good idea to allow ID/Creationism to be taught in a science class, especially in a state with such a poor overall academic standing like Louisiana?
This is why Bobby Jindal is a fool. Last time I checked, the people responsible for this bill were politicians, not scientists. Ignorant, dogmatic men trying to cast doubt on what is an accepted, observable science because it conflicts with a holy book. These are many of the same men who believe that the physical body of Jesus exists in a cracker.
I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but this is where religion crosses the line. When religion steps in the way of science and knowledge, it becomes dangerous. That is all that ID is about: trying to reconcile the observed world to an ancient book, by using fancy terms that mean nothing. There is NO evidence to support ID. If anyone here could offer some proof in ID that I may have missed, I'll promise to take a good openminded look at it. So far I'm not impressed.
Edit: I just noticed that Jindal has a Biology degree. That's even worse. Evolution is the absolute basis for all modern Biological Science. He should know better than anyone that evolution is fact.
