I have always seen this in the opposite light. Science says you don't know anything to start with, and you only learn things through experimentation. What you can't prove through experimentation you don't know. Intelligent Design says we can know, or rather we're going to go ahead a make a favorite assumption about how things work.

I agree that teaching ID is going to produce stupid kids. Most people don't understand the difference between a law, a theory, and a hypothesis (which is one of the things the ID people are taking advantage of in making their arguements). If we institutionalize the teaching of a popular hypothesis we undermine the whole scientific method. We're going to produce kids who beleive that popularity is truth.
