Intelligent design is a very convenient short cut to the conclusion desired by the enemies of science and progress. But it's not science. It's not testable, and not reproducible.
That's easy for me to say, since I can accept that an omnipotent being can do anything. I'm not terribly pious, but I can't clip the wings of the Deity and prevent it (Him?) from creating an evolutionary universe where change is the constant and black and white television yields to color. I like the fact that experimental science has led to sterile surgeries, long life spans and low infant mortality. I like the bright colors in my wardrobe, the car I use to transport my body, the Thai foods I wouldn't know about if other cultures hadn't evolved independently of mine.
So test your theory. And remember you can't walk into the laboratory with your results. The Bible can't be used to justify your conclusions, because it is the experimental subject. And when you do attempt to create the universe, make sure you have fresh underwear on.
