All i can imagine is a book with animals and pictures of landscapes with a teacher standing there saying.
"God did that, God did that too. God made these, and God made that. God made cancer for some reason, and God also made these cute little kittens. Oh see that tailbone on the human skeleton; God did that as a joke......."

Hey, mother gave me this one:
Don't pray in my school, and I won't think in your church.

Intelligent design doesn't have to start with Adam and Eve. Many people believe a God created the universe and one of the many ways he could have done it is through evolution. The fact is the we have no idea what happened before 10 to the -43 seconds after the Big Bang. It could be God, it might not, nobody knows.

Well, let's take the tack for a moment that God actually does exist and that He actually did create everthing... then I suppose that the science would actually speak for there being an intelligence behind the design.... Which is exactly the way it is! Every discipline of science speaks of a creator, and more and more as our technology gets deeper and deeper microsopically and macroscopically. Evolution is NOT even good science if you put it to the test, but most won't; they would rather scoff and mock that which they know not, in ignorance joining the mad stampede to the cliff of idiocy. Here is my question for all who persist in believing in evolution: Where are all the intermediate species that are necessary for the massive number of changes to take place for it to happen in many innumerable stages, as evolution demands, for it to be the truth??????? There should be zillions of them, but there aren't and never have been; the fossil record shows clear and distinct species all the way from the beginning.

I'm right with you Drunken Man. I don't think we should allow I.D. believers in hospitals or let them use computers or telephones or electricity. All science is based on Evolution and if you don't believe in the theory of Evolution then you should not be allowed to utilize the benefits of science.
And why wouldn't God set up the world to evolve in the first place? Oh, yeah, because it would make the BIBLE have some errors and that text is absolutely correct, it's written by the hand of men and translated from ancient languages, but it's such a reliable resource we should all base our existence upon it. GAH!
Peace.

Intelligent design does embrace evolution. All that really sets it apart is that evolutionist believe that our development is random. I.D. says that there is a plan and our development is part of that plan.
Creationists are the ones who follow the Bible in a literal sense. That is not the argument. The anti religious crowd don't want God to be taught as a possibility. Even though they can not answers questions of why? I.D. and science can exist together.
So don't be fooled by the propaganda.

It would be a short sentence like this in the text: "Some people don't really understand that evolution doesn't negate the existence of a god, so, we have to say the following: A god, er I mean intelligent designer, might have worked to either start and/or guide evolution...some won't even accept that evolution is partially correct despite sound scientific backing."

First, and foremost, science with an I.D. format would be taught in a fashion which resolutely agrees with the laws of science, not the theoretical philosophies of science. Thus, entrophy would be given a meaning and basis. I.D. does not disagree with any proven laws, and basically, returns science to the basics of methodolgy. Hence, the scientific method. Funny, most of our greatest scientists were Christians, and some still are. To learn just how much science can be taught from an I.D. format, one should study the courses written by Dr. Jay Wile who earned a Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in nuclear chemistry.

I posed the question about the basis for the "Theory of God Did It" and no one could explain it.
Apparently, as you point out, the "Theory of God Did It" or "Intelligent Design" is short on facts and relies on "God did it" as the only lesson.
If we take that beyond the evolution argument, it can be used in all classes. We could eliminate schools entirely. Just tell kids "God did it." no matter what the subject.
Here is an "Intelligent Design" website:

All that is unnecessary. All that has to be done is for the teacher to utter a 30-second statement at the beginning of biology class: "There is a non-scientific alternative to evolution and science in general; God did it." Then, get busy learning science.

Idiot! Hard science would be taught in an Intelligent Design science class. Just becaus God created everything doesn't mean we can't understand HOW it was done. Chemistry will still work the same way, as will biology, zoology, and especially physics, the cornerstone of creation.

The only thing that could be taught in such a class would illustrate precisely why the term "intelligent design science" is an oxymoron.
