To evade the charge that intelligent design is a religious theory -- creationism dressed up as science -- its advocates make no explicit claims about who or what this designer might be.
So the advocates of ID think either God created life on earth or aliens did. I wonder which they really think is responsible. The kindest thing I can say about this position is that it's disingenuous.

-In a giraffe, that means a 20-foot length of nerve where 1 foot would have done. If this is evidence of design, it would seem to be of the unintelligent variety.-
But a giraffe is an amazing work of art, is it not? Only intelligent design could come up with such an interesting and beautiful creature.
Why are rabbits so darn-goshed cute? There's really no "reason" for it. Yet, there they are.

If God created the universe wholesale rather than retail -- endowing it from the start with an evolutionary algorithm that progressively teased complexity out of chaos -- then imperfections in nature would be a necessary part of a beautiful process Sorry, you'd be kicked out of school for teaching that.

"keep an open mind."
Good advice ... none of us understands with absolute certainty the mystery of life and the universe.

From a scientific perspective, one of the most frustrating things about intelligent design is that (unlike Darwinism) it is virtually impossible to test. I absolutely agree that what the author refers to as "Darwinism" is testable.
Let's see the data that supports random variation of complex multicellular organisms leading to speciation.
Bring it on.

Exactly why ID can never be called science. At best it can be called a philosophy.

That is why Pope John Paul II was comfortable declaring that evolution has been "proven true" The Pope never said that.
