Michael Behe, considered to be THE scientific expert on intelligent design (and promoter of it), admitted under oath in the Dover PA case that ID is not scientific because it is not testable, but that evolutionary theory is scientific because it is testable.
So what is wrong with the idea of teaching science in science class?

Absolutely nothing. In fact I noticed the FSM in your avatar which is good point on why we shouldn't teach Intelligent Design in science classes.

I say all you could look at as records and the approach via which it is produced. In a field like evolutionary biology, theorizing is obviously going to play a extensive area using barriers on the human life span and how long we've possessed this maximum elementary thought. Darwin grew to become into the bounce off factor, the "Genesis" of evolutionary biology. The religionists did not end with mere cosmology and neither does technology. Our wisdom constantly evolves by way of latest data that brings concept into question and the attempting out of latest concept with new concept. what's an "evolutionist' precisely? every physique that would not believe the completed universe grew to become into created in a week?

Ummmm...nothing. I mean, isn't that what science class should be teaching???
I mean, do the people who are even promoting the idea that we should include "other views" even realize just how many "other views" there actually are? I'm a Hindu and I'm fully aware that there is Vedic Science. Now, I'm not ignorant of the fact that most Christians would detest Vedic Science being taught to their children (not that they even know what Vedic Science really is, but it sounds like prosletyzing enough to them just the same...except Hindus don't believe in prosletyzing) any more than they want "Darwinism" as they call it, taught to their children.
Science class should remain science class just as math class should remain math class and history class should remain history class and religion/theology class can remain religion/theology class and philosophy class can remain philosophy class and English class can remain English class. I mean, really, just imagine if "other views" were allowed into all these classes as well!?!?!

Intelligent design is testable in my mind. If you see a pattern that starts randomly after a session of chaos, that is a sign of some kind of intelligence interfering.
But I'm not a fan of intelligent design, they make it sound to much like aliens made us. I know that the god would be the designer, but the wording...to alienated.

Nothing wrong with that... but as different scientific principle apply to our lives differently science needs to be taught in, and as it applies to, every aspect and field of study.
btw...evolution can not be tested with any degree of reliability by man... it is not directly observable... it is a process that takes, at best many thousands of years... it is a theory, true, a theory that is a usful model for use in study... but a theory none the less, A theory that can not be proven. Relative to the way it is generaly used in Scientific debate.

There's nothing wrong with teaching science in a science class. Logic isn't enough for some people.

You're question is so simple that we often forget its true answer -
Creationists know that they are fighting a losing battle. They know that nobody with access to all of the information can, in good conscience, deny evolution. In realising this, they see that the only way to keep people believing in the Bible is to deny children access to enough scientific information to allow them to make up their minds independently.
Religion fluorishes in a vacuum and wilts in an open forum.
These people are not stupid...

Science is testable. Science should be taught in science class.

Nothing, however I think it is a challenge for many school systems to teach it properly. You know what my Physics labs were.. watching Nova and writing essays on them because the state didn't want to spend money on lab equipment.
ID should be taught in humanities.

I don't have a problem with it. But evolution is testable and found wrong.
How do you explain irreducible complexity?
Just because it is "science" doesn't make it true, just testable. When it fails the test, it must be replaced. Who is to say ID won't be tested someday?
