What truth? What deception?

Will you agree that either evolution is true or it isn't?

And if it's not true, then isn't the answer, necessarily, intelligent design?

In my view, even if you're a committed evolutionist, an examination of ID keeps evolutionary science honest and rigorous, and avoids the pitfall of "assumed" truth.

What I am specifically talking about is the fact that ID'ers, in order to promote their fundamentalist creationist agenda, try to deny their true purpose in order to "wedge" their way into a science curriculum. Just admit it and rely on the Lord. I mean, ID'ers now go to great lengths to deny a religious purpose and deny any relationship to creationism. But, sometimes, not every ID'er gets the memo to mislead, to wit the U. of Oklahoma Creation Science club announcement that they were now to be known as the IDEA club.

"Welcome to the University of Oklahoma IDEA Club website! We are no longer the Creation Science Society. Our new name is Intelligent Design & Evolution Awareness Club. That's IDEA Club for short"

Creation Club Changes to ID Club

False dichotomy. If evolution is proven false then the origin of species diversity becomes an unknown. Intelligent design does not win by default in such a situation. Moreover, note that "Intelligent Design", as pushed by its major proponents, accepts that evolution has occured.
