A good point. But then why is intelligent design growing among scientist and it is. And why is it that academia so against it. If you even try to bring up intelligent design you would lose your job and all funding. But then real advancement has never come from main stream thinkers. It always come from people who think outside the box. But I would still like to know why intelligent design is being shut out of academia. There is just as much of an argument for it as evolution.

That's exactly how the theory of evolution was born. So why go back to ID/creationism/ "what ever they call it next"?
It's like saying, hey, why don't we go back to blood-letting in medicine or that the earth is a disc or or or. It's just less obvious then these things, if you don't know how an academic discussion works. ID is shut out of academia because it's not a science, if you base everything on a book and if it couldn't be taken serious without the existance of this book.
Have you ever heard about the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
They seem to have more evidence then ID and therefore they want to be taught in school as well.
