There is a huge debate as to whether to allow intelligent design to be taught in school along with evolution when, actually, there should be none of this taught at all because evolution does not fit the criteria that makes it a science. It is nothing more than a belief system.

Charles Darwin did not originate the theory. He simply plagiarized it from a man named Alfred Russel Wallace. And, along with that, Darwin was not a scientist. He was a philosopher with just two years of medical school.

To truly teach our children about critical thinking, we should present both views to them – along with the evidence now available – and let them make the choice.
