Explanation:
With about 70 billion stars and as many as 100 million life forms (at least here on Earth), the universe is a stunningly complex place. Did all of this matter evolve independently, or was it guided by a larger force – as proponents of intelligent design believe? With the debate raging in living rooms, classrooms and courtrooms, the stakes are high when it comes to determining intelligent design’s merit.

The Ayn Rand Institute Resorts to Harsh & Empty Rhetoric to oppose ID
Separation of Education and State
This objection highlights one of the problems with public education: the government should not be in the position of deciding what people ought to believe about science anymore than they should decide what people ought to believe about religion. We should have a separation of education and state for the same reason that we have a separation of church and state. So long as education remains in the government's hands, however, it must not introduce religion into public education. As ARI makes clear, ID is nothing more than religion with a pseudo-scientific veneer. It does not belong in the public schools.
