if it is impossible to know why should one theory hold sway over another? that is the same narrow-minded behavior that the church tried in order to silence scientific inquiry in the middle ages. it was an ill-conceived strategy then and still is. secular society is now playing the role of inquistor simply because enlightenment rationalism still carries the day in academia. if intelligent design is so stupid, irrational, implausible etc. why not teach it in order to demonstrate the distinction between a well-grounded theory and one that isn't? (irealize you never referred to it as 'stupid' or irrational' i am just making a point)
