Intelligent design is going to be butchered like never before under this law.
***I think ID can handle the pressure. It will be better off as a result of this criticism, much like the textual criticisms aimed at the bible in the 19th century. After that little exercise, the new testament documents were stronger in their historicity than any other contemporary set of documents. The same will happen with ID.

The problem you will run into is that ID is neither good science nor good religion.

As science it is a failure; it was cooked up to try to replace creation "science" and it has no more real science behind it than creation "science" ever did. The few attempts to patch some science into ID (such as irreducible complexity) have failed miserably.

As religion it is the belief that dare not speak its name.
