Intelligent Design theory is in it's infancy from a scientific standpoint. Are you trying to discount ID before it has a chance to be properly vetted by the hosts of scientists willing to bring the supporting evidence to light?
Patience my friend.
Are you suggesting that the existence of God will be established via the use scientific methods?
ID is religion using science to search for God in order to support religious beliefs, and what it boils down to as a "theory" is that whatever can't be explained to the full satisfaction of the religious community at this time via available technology, must point to the actions of a Greater power A.K.A. the Biblical God, and His Creation.
But raising questions does not make for proof, and that's what ID is trying to attempt to do. Market questions as conclusions.
The Church took the same position on the question of whether the Earth was flat or not, and whether it revolved around the Sun or the Sun around the Earth.
Eventually, technology caught up with the question, and the Church was forced to admit that it was wrong.
Hardly, the idea has kicked around for a very long time. Some people have recently tried to slap a new pseudo-scientific coat of paint on it, but the fact is that there has never been a particle of physical evidence turned up to support the idea. If there were "hosts of scientists willing to bring the supporting evidence to light", don't you think one of them would have gotten this evidence out there for someone to examine?
Oh, I forgot. They're all Waiting For Funding.
