Do we see cracks in the facade? Discovery doesn't want ID taught in schools because there is no way of creating a science curriculum from "someone-'probably-God'-did-it".

"there is no way of creating a science curriculum from "someone-'probably-God'-did-it"."

What's interesting is the opposition you run into when you point out that, in the absence of identifying God as the designer (which would make ID essentially the same as creationism in virtually every aspect), ID allows for the possibility that we were all designed by an intelligent alien race from another world. Our 'creator(s)' could very well have been from the planet K-Pax, if you take ID at its word instead of that of its followers. It amuses me that, whenever this is brought up, IDers will generally take offense to the idea that their pet theory allows for the possibility that their true creator is a little green man from another planet.
