DNA is exactly like a bunch of pebbles on a beach, if those pebbles were confined by the need to succeed or die. Lets say the tide keeps bringing in rocks, some are heavy enough to remain after the surf recedes, others are not. You're pointing to the rocks that stay on the beach where you can see them but completely ignoring all those swept away by the tide. You see design in the things that remain alive but what happened to the design of things that went extinct? The whole question of design is ass backwards to begin with. Our concept of design is shaped by the world around us. We build machines to exploit some attribute or function we find in the natural world. At the end of the day, even if I gave you every assumption, your creator would be indistinguishable from the natural world, probably not the god you're going for. This is the essence of ID. "We accept everything that the scientific world discovers about DNA and life.....and add a creator (with absolutely nothing to back it up)."
As far as your science teacher goes, if you insinuated to your science teacher that it was a creator, and not natural process at work, the teacher should have exposed the idea as ignorant. Sometimes the truth hurts. Creation does not belong in biology, because it is not biology, it is religion. Creation "Science" is not science, it is religion. Bill of goods, empty box.
I understand the desire to stay out of the politics of the whole thing, what I'm telling you is that the politics IS the whole thing. You realize that these people have manufactured their own journals so that they can give the appearance of credible science in an effort to advance social policy? Do you think that the people behind ID want to have to explain evolution? They don't. They're the same people who called it heresy, and completely untrue not so long ago. The only reason they "explain" it, is because they've been forced to come to grips with the fact that Genesis is fiction. Make no mistake, they'd rather you not ask the question at all.
