Not Even Wrong

This fucker from the American Family Ass's propaganda wing, is trying to claim that ID is science. It is NOT science. I suggest that the aforementioned fucker read
Intelligent Design: It's Not Even Wrong by Rush Holt. It does a good job explaining why ID doesn't get the respect that the ill informed or intentionally ignorant expect it to.
Two other notes, one is how does ID explain the existence of "The Designer?" and this quote really gets to me.

It is hard to imagine that Dover's students would not benefit from being told that there are gaps in Darwin's theory and that intelligent design theory offers a competing explanation for the origin of life and the cosmos. Failure to provide such an explanatory note implicitly gives state approbation to evolution's creed that there is no God.

First off there are gaps in Darwin's theory, this is true, but they are gaps and fundamental wrongs, but to say that ID offers a competing definition is just wrong, it isn't even science. There is nothing implicit in Darwin's theory that says there is no God. The existence of God has no impact on the theory, but when dealing with ID there _has_to_be_a_God_ to make it work. So the opposite is true, teaching ID implicitly gives state approbation that there is a God, which is clearly a violation of church and state, where as teaching Darwin's theory is independent (thought not exclusionary) of the God concept and as such does no such thing.
