AUSTIN (AP) - A majority of State Board of Education members said the theory of intelligent design should be left out of the science curriculum for public schools.

  The board will rewrite the science curriculum next year and some observers expect backers of intelligent design to push for the theory's inclusion.

  In interviews with The Dallas Morning News, 10 of the board's 15 members said they wouldn't support requiring the teaching of intelligent design. One board member said she was open to the idea. Four board members didn't respond to the newspaper's phone calls.

  Proponents of intelligent design contend that life is too complex to have occurred by chance, requiring instead the guidance of an unnamed supernatural being. Critics say it's a ploy for introducing creationism - the biblical account of the origin of humans - into science classes.
