Keep open mind on intelligent design

It appears that many people opposing the mention of intelligent design in our schools are biased and are unaware of the fact that more than 300 scientists from Yale, Princeton, MIT and Smithsonian signed a public statement declaring that they were "skeptical of claims for the ability of random and natural selection to account for the complexity of life" and encouraged careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory.
Not only does the No Child Left Behind act require that we help students understand the full range of scientific views, but our state and national legislators are currently considering legislating the requirement that intelligent design be mentioned without any religious references. We would all do well to have an open mind.

To those who believe in scientism
here is an opportunity to refute the much maligned creationists.
As to ID, it is very basic. If you deny it, then one may as well deny the meaning/design of their own symbols and signs. I.e., your own text. As what you write is not an artifact of intelligence but intsead is just another feature of Nature's inevitable "selections," perhaps through its natural selection, naturally enough.
