Frankly, I don't see how the notion of intelligent design hurts anyone -- unless one is so opposed to the idea of the existence of God that it makes them skirm. It's pretty obvious that this is where some of the opponents of ID are coming from.
The ultimate in silly arguments - if you can't actually support your position, make insinuations about the motives of others.
Perhaps they're not your motives. I said "most"...thereby avoiding painting everyone with the brush. If you're opposition to ID isn't based upon an inherent hatred of God, congratulations.
