| 152 | Richard J. Gillis, M.D. | ScientificTheory is based on repeatable, provable
objective studies., subject to change with new objective findings. The "theory" of ID is a completely different animal. It is based on beliefs which arise from religious roots and are fixed.. The two types of "theory" have nothinging common. The latter is a non provable belief system. If one wants to espouse it, church is the place, not schools where scientific reasoning and objectivity are essential for the future of the country. |

| 154 | Alan Hehe | I have no problem with Intelligent Design being taught as a theory in a class on Philosophy and Religion, but it has no place in the teaching of science courses such as biology. Perhaps God is Intelligence itself, driving evolution--but this is a theory, a philosophical or religious theory, and should be taught in the appropriate class. Evolution is now accepted as scientific fact, and should be addressed in a factual sense. If students are to be taught any religion in grade school, or high school,it should be done in a relion and philosophy class, and the students should be taught not just Christianity but be taught about the other religions around the world, and about Philosophy as well. These classes should be reserved for High school, though, as they are difficult and mature subject material. Outside of this, religion should be left in the church and home. For years, religion hindered scientific growth; we don't want to take steps backwards. The school, outside of a class specified to teach various religions and philosophies, is no place for religion. |

| 158 | Michael Knapp | The discussion of Intelligent Design should not be done in the Science classroom. |

| 172 | Geoffrey C. Gibbons | As a recovering Roman Catholic I believe the place for the discussion of ID should be in classes concerning religion, where many schools of thought can be discussed, or in classes about philosophy. When teaching Science, ID should be checked at thr door. |

| 177 | Dean Dye | Please keep science and religion SEPARATE
Teach science in school and religion in churches, temples and mosques. |

| 180 | Francisco Lopez | Intelligent design is a set of beliefs that should not be taught as science. It could be taught in another context, like history, philosophy etc, but not as science. |
| 181 | Richard Baldwin | I am ashamed for the state of Florida that there is even a question about teaching science rather than religion in Florida schools. |
| 182 | James Strayer | Let the University of Florida and Florida State decide what science is. |

| 184 | Stephanie Donald | Intelligent design is absolute bunk. There is no proof that some superior being waved a hand and all came into existence. It just isn't even a little scientific and requires the same sort of blind faith that the German people had in Adolph Hitler. If I had a child in school now I would demand that they be excluded from being forced to ingest this guff simply on the grounds that it violates the First Amendment and forces our children to become all one religion. Let parents decide what religion a child should learn and not force them all to be cut out of the same mold. |

| 189 | Barbara Stiefel | Spiritual and religious opinions are part of what should be taught by parents at home. School curricula are intended to educate students and prepare them for college and/or a trade. |
| 190 | Thomas C. Washburn, M.D. | I am a science-based public health physician, and I hold a Masters Degree in Religion. I firmly believe that the theory of evolution must be taught at all levels of education. Courses in religion or philosophy could in theory address questions raised by advocates of so-called Intelligent Design. |

Thanks for your attention. |
| 195 | Joque Hall Soskis | If ID is a part, any part, of science (any science), then could someone please state for me just one testable hypothesis it posits, or one prediction it has enabled us to make? These are the sine qua non of any science. |
