It has been confused with creationism which IS a religious doctrine. It is also not a "god of the gaps" notion. Properly speaking it is that the evolutionary mechanism proposed by Darwin, even as updated by neo-darwinists, does not explain the evidence.

So theory intelligent design is simply the idea that Darwinism is wrong?

We all know that Darwin was "wrong," in that the mechanism he proposed does not by itself explain everything. On the other hand, later science have been able to create a logical construct that makes his theory fit with other physical theories. On the other hand, they have a problem with anthropology. Do we accept that man is a single species of one species, or are there actual "races" of mankind. I mean, if evolution is a fact, it did not suddenly end 50,000 years ago, and there might be radical differences among isolated groups of mankind, s that there might indeed be innate differences in intelligences of certain groups of humans just as there seem to be between breeds of dogs. The equality of mankind, if true, is a religious doctrine.
