Modern evolutionary theory has grave weaknesses, the most grave being its inability to account for the creative, transformative role of intelligence in the development of life forms. Intelligent design dares honestly to confront this compelling and vital evidence. Because Darwinism has no credible response based in science, its supporters resort to ad hominem attacks.

Darwinists have become an embarrassment to thinking people.

The anti-science movement is an embarrassment to conservatism and Republicanism.

Evolutionary theory has no such "inability". The problem is that IDers have been unable to provide any evidence for their presumption.

Intelligent design dares honestly to confront this compelling and vital evidence.

IDers keep alluding to this "compelling and vital evidence", but keep "forgetting" to show it to anyone, even when asked repeatedly.

Because Darwinism has no credible response based in science,

...other than the very to-the-point and very credible response that if the IDers want to be taken seriously *as* science, they're going to have to follow the "rules" of science. To date, IDers have failed to do so, they just want to bitch and moan about how "unfair" and "exclusive" the methods and practices of science are, and try to force their stuff into science classrooms and science journals *without* actually having to bother with that pesky "evidence and research" stuff.

its supporters resort to ad hominem attacks.

IDers call it "ad hominem attacks" when people point out the truth about the IDers behavior, and point out the vast number of times that IDers have been caught lying, engaging in dishonest propaganda, trying to rewrite history, committing perjury, and other behavior that makes them very much like Michael Moore.

Darwinists have become an embarrassment to thinking people.

"ID" has become such an embarrassment that even ~10,000 Christian clergy have endorsed evolutionary biology and stated that ID has no place being taught as science.

Deal with it, and stop making further misrepresentations about science, scientists, and the facts of the issue.

Do you have a single piece of scientific evidence for what you call the "creative, transformative role of intelligence in the development of life forms"?

Darwinists have become an embarrassment to thinking people.

I hope you don't number yourself among the latter.

There is no way to scientifically "account for the creative, transformative role of intelligence in the development of life forms". That evolutionary theory doesn't address the unaddressable is not a weakness, it is a strength.

Intelligent design dares honestly to confront this compelling and vital evidence.

There is no evidence, vital, compelling, or otherwise. Therefore, Intelligent Design is dishonest.
