Mainstream science looks all the way back...and everything is accidental says science. No room anywhere for another interpretation of the evidence, not just biology. Im sorry, but no matter how you slice it, thats narrow.
I can see you haven't done your homework, or are just fond of using loaded terms like "Accidental" - evolution isn't 100% random. The random mutations are passed through the non-random filter of natural selection. Try it for yourself with a bucket of 100 pennies. Pour it out on a surface, and put all of the pennies that land tails up back into the bucket. They are dead. Pour out those pennies again, and repeat until you have all 100 pennies heads up. Oops! You've just produced an event that has a 1/(2^100) chance of happening..."by accident" !
By the way, what is the ID "interpretation of the evidence"? All I see is a giant argument from ignorance - I don't know how this worked, so Goddiddit!
On another note, I think that the underlying philosophy behind the scientific method should be taught - ie, the methodology, etc. The schools do a crappy job of that as of yet, it should be taught in the first few weeks of every science class. But why on earth would ID be dragged into it?
