As a Christian, I am not asking that Intelligent Design/Creation be taught as fact in public schools, only that it be given it's right as a Scientific Theory and that Evolution not be taught as fact. Now don't get me wrong, I do believe in Micro-Evolution. There is no other way to describe differences among a species. Mutations occur, I'm not denying that. Mutations along with Natural Selection lead to genetic drifts. Sepparation of one species into multiple ecosystems has lead to genetic varriations, but they are still one species. Different as they are they have not become a different species.
Take the salinity of the ocean. It is on average 3.5% Salt to water which is the same as that of the human body. If it was 2% there would be no life on planet Earth, or if it was 5%, there would be no life on planet Earth. Also, the oxygen level of 21%. If it were 25% there would be no life on planet Earth, or if it were 19%, there would be no life on planet Earth. There are hundreds of these "dials" that if they are not calibrated correctly the would be no life on planet Earth. It only requires that one be off for the exsistance of life to be impossible. Maybe we got lucky.
The most basic teaching of Biology and the first thing that is taught to High School Freshmen is that life comes from life. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen, these are the four major elements of all life and were believed to be in abundance at the beginning of life here on Earth. There is no life in Carbon. There is no life in Hydrogen. There is no life in Oxygen. There is no life in Nitrogen. These, combined with lightning is the Scientifical Explination of the beginning of life. How then can the Evolution of the Beginning of Life be taught as a theory if it does not stand up to the simplest of tests? How did life come from nothing? This test has been repeated in labs and not once has any lifeform ever been created.
I have just one more question for the evolutionists. Where are the transition species now? Scientists can put bones together however they want to prove whatever they want, but if evolution of one species to another actually occured, why is it no longer occuring? Why are there still primative species?
The Scientific Explination to Intelligent Design is there, why can't it be taught as such a Theory?

I think your post is excellent.
Besides the features of earth that make life possible, such as the exact percentages of salt in the water and oxygen in the atmosphere, there is further evidence of a master designer in the laws and constants of physics that make the universe able to support life. If some of these constants were slightly different, if some of the forces were in different ratios, atoms and and the chemistry that supports life would not be possible.
I agree with you completely that evolution should not be taught as fact. As I point out in my website, evolution cannot be proved by science because the scientific method does not allow science to prove that evolution happened.
You can't prove which of two explanations is true by only looking at one of them. Science cannot examine creation because the scientific method does not allow consideration of supernatural causes. Science can try to show that evolution is possible, but even if it were possible, science cannot show that it happened. If creation is also possible, then either could have occurred. To prove that evolution happened, science would have to prove that creation could not have happened, that is, no creationist explanation could explain the evidence. Science has never done that.
