Re: a tall order to do a whole curriculum
Please, take each and every one of those items that you think are evidence of 'Inteilligent design', and show they are.
Not one of the systems that Behe has suggested is irreducible complex has stood up under examination. Also, there is no reason to think that
an irreducibly complex system could not form natually.. if the 'scalfolding' for the structure was removed after it was in place as a means of analogy.
If we look at the list of what you claim is 'evidence' for I.D, there are also naturalistic (non-design) methods that have been shown to answer each and every one of those items. Why assume 'an intelligent designer' when a perfectly valid explaination can be shown without one?

Re: ID is not based on supernaturalism
What is it based on?
What predictions can it make?
What testable statement, if proven true, falsifies ID.
What explainatory power does it have?

Re: ID is not based on supernaturalism
Let's see.
The I.D. Camp says that. But each and every one of them will admit they 'think the intelligent designer is god'
You might claim all the evidence is pointing to "an intelligent designer". But, like all the I.D. proponents, you don't have a way to show what that evidence is, or how to test for the presence of an 'intellinent designer". The concept of "irreducible complex" is void of all meaning, since has not been shown that 1) there is any irreducible complex biological system out there, and 2) that an irreducible complex system can not evolved naturally without a designer if any are actually found.
All of the arguements for 'I.D.' are not ideas that promote an intelligent designer, but rather attack evolution (with misunderstandings, psuedoscience,and lies, I might add)
