Intelligent Design

Michael J Behe, one of the originators of the Intelliegent Design theory explains in The New York Times what it is and what it is not. Very interesting article, and I expect that many critics of intelligent design will be surprised by what it is, and many supporters will be surprised by what it is not. I think that ID should be taught in schools, but not as something that is a certainty. Much of the criticism of conventional Darwinism that ID offers seems to me to be important science. It doesn't prove that Darwinism is wrong, but it does show that their are still holes, or at least unproven areas in the system, and that is indeed where science should focus. Equally though, Evolution does need to be taught in public schools with no concern for those who are religiously opposed to the idea.
