    Exactly. It is impossible to prove there is no intelligent designer. It's a simple fact. God can not be disproven. And because of that one simple fact, "intelligent design" is not, has never been and will never be a scientific theory. Why? Because it can't be proven false. Understanding the nature of the scientific method is required. Sadly, the followers of "intelligent design" either are unfamiliar with the concept, or are deliberately ignoring the concept. Since "intelligent design" isn't a scientific thoery, it's just philosophy; and as such has no more place being taught alongside the scientific theory of evolution than any other philosophy.

    So why should God be taught in schools? If someone wishes to teach his children about his religious views, then I have no problem with it at all. But when, because those religious views can't stand up to the light of reason and might suffer if the indoctrination isn't continually reinforced, creating a need for nonsense like ""intelligent design" put forward as a scientific theory alongside evolution, then I do have a problem with it. My child's education shouldn't suffer because a vocal minority want to maintain the religious indoctrination of their children within the public confines of public schools. Keep your religion where it belongs - private. If you insist on continuing the indoctrination of your children without the inconvenience of outside influences, then homeschool them or send them to private school. Just don't expect the rest of us to pay for the frailty of your views. If the logic of your religion isn't strong enough to defeat the logic of science, then the problem is your religion not the science.
