I still don't get it.
Evolution doesn't explain how life originated, only how the variations came to be, so it really has nothing to do with ID. Now if there was a science class on the "Origin of Life" (to which there are only theories as yet) then I could understand the complaint, but then again, teaching all creation myths would be ... well .. impossible.
well, some of them will quibble about the primordial ooze theory and the big bang, but I think the one thing that really sticks in the craw of fundamental creationists is human evolution. That man descended from common primate ancestors along with the modern great apes. That's in direct conflict with the whole garden of eden tale. This goes back to the scopes Monkey trial, and its still an issue for them today. I don't think any of them can credibly deny evolution more broadly, the fossil record and mitochondrial DNA evidence is overwhelming.
