43. The thing is, these people are lying to their students
They're claiming ID or creationism is "a valid, scientific alternative". Neither is. Creationism is clearly wrong (and was clearly wrong before Darwin came along - and is specific to certain religions). ID is not scientific - it's the abdication of science, throwing their hands up in the air and saying "I'm not clever enough to work out how organisms evolve - maybe something we know nothing about did it". That's guesswork, which can't even be taken as proper philosophy. In no way is it science. But 1 in 8 teachers are lying to their pupils about it.
