See, I don't see a good reason to give this equal time. First, because only one is a theory, and that's Evolution. The other one is a quick and dirty story made up to satisfy creationists. ID has not gone through the scientific process whatsoever, it is not a theory, in the scientific sense. If you give it to the ID'ers, then you have to give it to the equally fruitcakey folks who think aliens deposited us on this planet and used the pyramids as intergallactic space hubs. (My Archaeology prof called them Pyramidiots)

There is no basis behind ID in science, only religion. The entire thing behind ID is that evolution couldn't do what it did, so let's chalk it up to a higher power doing it for nature.
That's just a cop out and in no way belongs in science.

it's no better than those who think Noah's flood happened.
Smart people: But where did enough water come from to cover all the earth?
Floodie: God made it happen.
Smart people: But how did all the plants come back after every square inch of land was covered by salt water for a prolonged period of time?
Floodie: God made it happen, he protected them all.
Smart people: what did all the large animals eat while they were on the ark?
Floodie: God provided.
This doesn't belong in my history book or geology book, neither does ID

ID is no less retarded.
