Dover Area School District case for yourself. The top proponent of Intelligent Design, from the science world (Michael Behe) got his ass handed to him by a lawyer, when pressed for details on his general, sweeping statements about ID and Irreducible Complexity. (Edit to Add: He also was forced to admit, under oath, that his ideas were not science, and that he had actually preferred his woo-woo version so much that he had failed to keep up with several scientific papers which had proved the exact things he claimed could not happen under ID/IC, as he had proposed it. Basically he formed an emotionally-satisfying idea, ID/IC, and stuck to it even in the face of better data... this is the opposite of science.)
When you keep repeating what are basically Behe's arguments, with the added flavor of not actually understanding what biology actually says about how we develop, it tells me that you don't want to know the facts, but prefer your own woo-woo version of it.
If you actually want to know about Kitzmiller, you can read about it here, along with a lot of good biology info:

i dont see how a judges ruling is proof that Intelligent Design didnt actually influence evolution in some way but it looks like a fair ruling
and both darwins theory of evolution without Intelligent Design and the other theory are stressed as being theories and NOT facts so thats true ...
" Because Darwin's Theory is a theory, it continues to be tested as new evidence is discovered. The Theory is not a fact. Gaps in the Theory exist for which there is no evidence. A theory is defined as a well-tested explanation that unifies a broad range of observations.
Intelligent Design is an explanation of the origin of life that differs from Darwin's view. The reference book, Of Pandas and People, is available for students who might be interested in gaining an understanding of what Intelligent Design actually involves.
With respect to any theory, students are encouraged to keep an open mind. The school leaves the discussion of the Origins of Life to individual students and their families. As a Standards-driven district, class instruction focuses upon preparing students to achieve proficiency on Standards-based assessments. "
