The whole point of ID is that it's creationism without Jeebus. This means it's easier to persuade school boards that ID is a magical Kuhnian paradigm shift and that the Darwinians are really quaking in their boots at the thought of this sudden change in scientific knowledge. Alas, the evidence says no. Once you let the dust settle and you've brushed off the sugar coating, it's the same old crap that Henry Morris, Duane Gish and that ridiculous Kent Hovind (he believes in dragons! How adorable!) have been serving up since well, smeg only knows when. Fortunately, we'vegottheirnumber (okay, the last one's rather self-congratulatory, but whatever).
