BTW way the theory of Intelligent Design lays at the foundation of science itself. The strong conviction that the world is intelligently designed by the Creator allowed the natural sciences to be born and develop.
That is why the actual institution of science was created in the medieval universities run by the Catholic Church. (Universities themselves were created by the Catholic Church, not by rare atheists or profit driven merchants or predatory aristocracy.)
Once the market profit, atheist license, political correctness and politics takes over the science, science will die.
A poem by Rilke
The kings of the world are grown old,
inheritors they shall have none.
In childhood death removes the son,
their daughters pale have given, each one,
sick crowns to the powers to hold.
Into coin the rabble breaks them,
today's lord of the world takes them,
stretches them into machines in his fire,
grumbling they serve his every desire;
but happiness stills forsakes them.
The ore is homesick. And it yearns
to leave the coin and leave the wheel
that teach it to lead a life inane.
The factories and tills it spurns;
from petty forms it will uncongeal,
return to the open mountain's vein,
and on the mountain will close again.
(Rainer Maria Rilke from Book of Hours. Translated by Albert Hofstadter as part of Heidegger's What Are Poets For?)
