This re-instated what passes for faith in humanity

[Doc]

Conceptually you dont seem to see the problem with Intelligent Design.
You are saying people need to find evidense to support it.  Where as Evolution grew out of direct observation. Neither situation makes one or the other right, but looking for evidense to support an idea born of metaphysics is not science(an irrational agent, one neither seen nor observered, not leaving evidense is a metaphysical agent) .
That said I dont discount the notion at all of God(and one could use aliens just as well) haveing a guiding hand or some other form of control, but its not science and shouldnt be taught in school.

Well a lot of things are not "Science" and shouldn't be taught in school. But they are.

Humanities. Literature. Arts. Mythology. All things which require you to let go of logic and make the jump to abstract thinking, or thinking outside of the box. They teach the mind to expand and be open to all kinds of possibilities.

That said, I don't think public schools and teachers making 17 grand a year are the places and the people I want teaching kids about delicate subjects like faith. It has no place there. That should be done at home, or a well qualified private school with well educated instructors. This is not a slam to public schools or teachers in public schools... It's really hard to teach about faith when there are so many faiths involved... And in a private school, it's possible to have one faith all lumped together.

Frankly, I am one of those believers that faith should be kept at home in the closet, where the Good Lord told you to be praying, and not out in public making a jackass out of your self trying to get everybody to see you.
