Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the ruling of Federal Judge John Jones, Intelligent Design is a form of creationism and, being a religious concept, cannot be taught in the public schools as science. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because the identification of the designer is not the only factor in determining whether Intelligent Design is a religious concept. Option C is also incorrect because presenting a religious concept alongside a scientific theory as if they are equal would not be scientifically accurate or appropriate.
