Whether or not we start teaching ID or creationism or anything else, we must stop teaching flawed science. The confusing of operational science with origins science is the true flaw and it is overlooked by a current body of true believers because it conflicts their anti-religious religion of atheism and secular humanism. Their fervor is the same as that of those who believe God created the universe. Their fundamental thesis (Goo-2-you) evolution is just as unobservable, un-testable, and irreproducible as pure Creationism, let alone ID.
It is an absolute shame and scam that the entire scientific community is so caught up in advocating a secular humanist world view that they are teaching junk science. There is a fundamental difference between reproducible, testable, empirical operational science, and making wild conjecture about origin science from it. Yes we have observed fruit flies exhibit tiny generational changes. Yes we have a handful of confusing fossils out of millions and millions of samples. Neither of these offers the remotest of proofs that life originated from a few random amino acids getting jiggy in prehistory.
We can observe and test and reproduce operational changes within a species. We cannot, however observe or test 1 species mutating to another. Occam suggests that we can't observe it because it doesn't happen. We should stop teaching our children that this wild, un-provable hypothesis is fact, and address the real issue.
The *real* issue in my mind is the same for all religious zealotry. They refuse to accept science which refutes their belief system that would require a change in lifestyle. And yes, I include Atheism, secular humanism, and moral relativism in the camp of religious zealotry and extremism. It happens to be a branch that is currently dominant in the scientific community and causing it to portray un-provable statements as fact.
Science at one time was diluted and distorted because it was dominated by Judeo religious extremists. NOW it is being diluted and distorted because it is dominated by secular moral relativist extremists. The true disservice to science is this distortion, not ID or Creationism.
