A couple. First, there is no such thing as absolute proof in science. There is, however, a great deal of evidence for evolution.
Second, Mathis (the movie's producer) is himself arguing that ID is religion. I wrote a post on this earlier with links:
PZ Myers expelled from "Expelled"
Religion doesn't belong in the science classroom. I wouldn't call ID idiotic so much as missing the point. Religion is about faith, science is about evidence.
