Ok, you can start with this which has several fields intertwined. There is basically a telological question of whether life is designed. Darwinism answers the question negatively. Intelligent Design answers the question affirmatively.

How is one answer non-scientific and religious while the other is completely scientific and non-religious?

They are either the same type of answer or not. Judge Jones couldn't grasp this but he was just copying and pasting his opinion from friend of the court filings anyway.

Your problem here is that's not the question. Natural selection, sexual selection, genetics, and the other methods by which organisms evolve have nothing to do at all with religion, make no claims for or against, nor have any relevance or bearing on religion. Not to mention that evolution has NOTHING to do with the origin of life. The question is whether it is legal to teach creationism, which it isn't, and that ID is just creationism under a different guise.
