First, Creationism and Intelligent Design are the exact same thing. As one article on the subject put it, calling it "Intelligent Design" is an end-run around the Supreme Court and its power to enforce the separation of church and state. The only people pushing for Intelligent Design to be taught in the science classroom are religious fundamentalists, and the ploy is their crowbar to pry open the lid on secular education.

Second, how can any physical evidence point to the validity of Creationism? Creationism assumes that an all-powerful deity made the universe. How the hell is anyone supposed to prove that? The evidence points to evolution. What do we have that supports this theory? Darwin's "Origin of Species" and every natural history museum in the country. They may not be perfect, but they're a hell of a lot more plausible than "The world was created, as is, in six days."
