Question 2

Multiple Choice

B) ID should be taught as a hypothesis of human origins, not a theory.
C) ID should not be taught in schools, since it lacks a research and testing program and is unsupported by peer-reviewed research.
D) the teaching of ID should be restricted to extracurricular activities, since it holds no scientific or cultural value.
E) these attempts have always failed, because ID's proponents argue that it should be taught in place of Darwinian evolution.
