Evolutionary theory is foundational to our modern understanding of biology.

Not really. Biochemistry is the foundation of modern biology. Darwinism gives historical context but it is no longer the foundation. Times, they are changing. Darwinism plays little role in applied science since Darwinism is not predictable by definition. Intelligent design based on biochemistry is the new paradigm, as a mechanism that can be applied by science, roaring into Dodge like the old freight trains. Such is life.

Full of sound a fury since 1802, but still signifying nothing.

Sorry, but you're incorrect. The modern synthesis theory, comprised of Darwin's theory of natural selection, Mendel's theory of inheritence, and discoveries in molecular biology since the identification of the DNA molecule by Watson, Crick, et al, is our theortical foundation for biological science. That you would prefer intelligent design/creationism to supplant the modern synthesis theory is clear, but it is not happening.

Intelligent design is a dodge developed after the Supreme Court bombed creation "science" out of the classrooms in the late 1980s.

The clever folks at the Discovery Institute said, "Aha! Well change things around a bit and see if we can fool people." So they came up with a strategy.

They called this The Wedge Strategy. But whoops!

Somehow it got leaked and posted on the internet, and that gave the whole ballgame away.

Its not about science. It is about overriding science with a particular narrow religious belief.
