The ubiquity of intelligent design is such that, like the air you breathe, it goes unnoticed.

Gumlegs, are you laughing yet? I am.

Admittedly it's a beautiful concept, a wonderful faith. I just wish he'd quit trying to call it science and quite bandying around the vernacular "theory" as if he were referring to scientific theory.

You can wish all you want, but I don't know why. Post the definition of theory, and then explain to me how it is outside the definition to maintain that the presence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws is due to an intelligent agent. What is "unnatural" about an intelligent being? I would find it highly unnatural to find organized matter acting according to predictable laws without either intelligence or design as part of the scenario.
