I have no problem questioning evolution. I have no problem stating that evolution is "only a theory". If you can come up with another hypothesis that matches the observed facts and makes testable predictions, let's hear it.
What I do have a problem with is the claim that ID is a theory. It's not; it's special pleading and doesn't provide testable predictions. Teach alternatives all you like, but for God's sake teach scientific ones.
Er, go and google for "anthropic principle" and "deep time", will you? And while you're at it, find a statistician and ask him "what is the deductive value of a single data point?"
