alansmithee,
Could you explain how one might test the validity of the intelligent design hypothesis? What sort of evidence would one be looking for?
Also, are you saying that ID is totally wrong when it claims that the Designer influences evolution, as is evidenced by the existence of the human eye? If so, how do you justify supporting ID when it comes to the creation of life?
Thirdly, how do you feel about the Flying Spaghetti Monster Hypothesis and do you think it should be taught in public schools as an alternative theory?

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
