Intelligent Design

If you hadn't heard, the newest internet fad to sweep the web is the "Flying Spaghetti Monster." The website is very funny, regardless of your thoughts on the matter. Anyway, what are your thoughts on these matters such as:
Intelligent design?
Evolution?
Religion?
Belief in God?
Belief in general?

What I think: Intelligent Design is NOT science. Therefore it should not be taught in a science classroom. Evolution is based on testable scientific hypotheses and despite flaws in the theory, IS science and should be taught in a science classroom. Religion has its place (we read The Bible in Senior English) and I am not against teaching of religion in public schools. However, religion (which more or less requires belief) does not belong in science. Intelligent design requires belief. QED and all that. Discuss.
