During a round-table interview with reporters from five Texas newspapers, Bush declined to go into detail on his personal views of the origin of life. But he said students should learn about both theories, Knight Ridder Newspapers reported.

The theory of intelligent design says life on earth is too complex to have developed through evolution, implying that a higher power must have had a hand in creation.
It should be noted that the ID movement has scored a considerable success in that ID is regularly referred to as a "theory," which in fact it is not, as it offers no testable hypothesis.
