I think that most people who have common sense and a good understanding of the world around them will find out that ID is pretty much crazy talk. I think its important not to have to learn about creationism (such a waste of time). I think its OK if its optional in the curriculum, like the teacher says, "Extra credit" but students shouldn't be forced to learn it.

do they ever randomly mutate human genes, trying to test for something that might correlate with increased fitness? For example, you said they discovered microcephalin and ASPM may affect brain size. Would they try to make a mutation that affected brain-size in a similiar fashion and test it? also, how does one differentiate a gene that is evolving the human species versus just mutating a small population of the race?
