INTELLIGENT DESIGN: An Engineer’s Approach

Why should ID be taught in science classes, when there are a thousand other fringe-scientific theories and ideas that have been pushed for far longer than ID. Surely, if science teaching is going to open to multiple opinions, we should give them first crack before ID?For example, back around 1990, a researcher from the Maharishi university produced work showing how all divine principles and their interconnections with our chakras were manifestly portrayed by the Lagrangian of N=8 SuperGravity (a potential theory of everything at the time). I still have the paper. If true, this would have a profound effect on our view of spirituality and would lead to the possibility of making actual calculations of our spititual condition.When not teaching the conventional science syllabus, how much time should be apportioned to ID and how much to the Maharishi's work? Also, how much time should be applied to advanced astrology (the 'scientific' variety, not the daily horoscope of course)? On what basis would you make these apportions?

I have to agree. Ignorance is always taken as some kind of insult, rather than our natural state about any particular topic. I am immensely ignorant concerning most things. Most people are immensely ignorant concerning evolution. It is no insult.
