How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Intelligent Design

Dahlia Lithwick has written one of the funniest things I've ever read about the debate over "Intelligent Design." Here's a taste.
Let's face it: The problem with science has always been that each new discovery unleashes thousands of new questions and ambiguities. So really, the more we discover new stuff, the stupider we get. Clearly, that isn't working. ID says we shouldn't bother ourselves with resolving scientific inconsistencies or untangling puzzles. We should recognize that what God really wants is for us just to stop learning.
If you think ID belongs in the science classroom, you won't find it so funny. But if you think that ID is nothing more than gussied-up creation myths in a pseudo-science wrapper, I guarantee a guffaw or two.
