Seems to me that science is a little afraid of losing ground in the schools.
And so it should be. A society like this depends on having a significant proportion of its population be functionally scientifically literate. Introducing thinly veiled theology into science class while suggesting that a fundamental biological theory is somehow lacking because it's "unproven" is not the way to do that.
This is a free country the last I looked. So whats wrong with having a choice?
There's enough science out there to keep a high school curriculum busy just getting through the basics. There's no time and no advantage to introducing stuff that hasn't been part of scientific research and isn't likely to be any time soon. Schoolkids need a grounding in the scientific method and an appreciation of the basics, not a bunch of stuff that's gone no farther than popular books and message boards and is opposed on scientific grounds by just about every professional research scientist who's come across it.
Or has science suddenly became fact and cannot be challenged?
Science is a method that depends on the laws of nature to explain observed phenomena. Purposeful intelligent Creators aren't part of science; the ID people have tied their Creator too closely to overthrowing methodological naturalism for anybody to take ID seriously as real science.
Science, with all it claims with it's fantastic theories. should welcome this.
Sort of like how a turkey should be as happy about Thanksgiving as humans are? The ID movement wants to replace methodological naturalism with a new and improved science that isn't limited by the laws of nature in the same way that the scientific method is. Why would scientists be happy about their discipline being threatened by people who want to renew science and society and have been bankrolled by the Chalcedon Foundation in the process?
After all it should be easy to disprove anything else. Just come up with more theories. And more theories to back up those theories until you have a mountain of them.
The theory of evolution is as well backed up as you describe. But that hasn't stopped any of the creationist groups, has it? Their motivation isn't scientific; their motivation, for young Earthers, is to get their interpretation of the Bible taught in public schools and used as the basis for law and society in general, and, for IDists, to replace the current secular society with a post-naturalistic one. In both cases, they're attacking the scientific method because it's perceived as part of the foundation of this nasty atheistic secular society that they want to get rid of. The fact that a scientific theory is very well supported is irrelevant to them. This isn't about science as far as they're concerned.
What is it that science is so afraid of? A God that does not exist(according to science).
You know that isn't true. Do you actually read what people write here? Or do you just forget it the minute you've read it?
And if you say science never said that, then what's the problem?
The problem is that basically this isn't about science. Scientists care about science, and they don't want to see it wrecked as collateral damage by a group of people who want to create a Christian theocracy.
