If ID cannot fit into the school science curriculum, at least they can push it through the back door. Quite interesting, as that certain class deals in equally weird theories. So who had Philosophy in school?

State Sen. Chris Buttars, a Republican, said if the two sides can't compromise, Buttars said he will sponsor a bill to address the issue.
"Legislation is a last resort," he said. "I'm still working
on it, but I'm really not highly hopeful we'll come to a consensus."
State education officials said they don't want to change curriculum.
The issue surrounds human evolution and the concept of "intelligent design," based on the idea that life is too complex to be explained solely by Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection and evolution, reported Salt Lake City Deseret News Thursday.
Critics say intelligent design is a reference to God and divine creation. Buttars says intelligent design says nothing about God.
