Hopefully the term 'Intelligent Design' is a good thing. It shows that the Creationists are trying to make their nonsense sould plausable by giving it a more scientific sounding name.' I hope everyone who encounters this is able to see through this make-over and the idea finally dies, at least until some actual evidence arises which actually gives it the slightest hint of credbility, which is unlikely. Religion attempting to hold science back has been around for hundreds of years, if not thousands of years. the earth is round, the universe revolves around the sun. there is no reason, apart from the decline in church power, in part thanks to the rise of science , that the church has become any more open-minded than it has to. So every discovery which is made is essentially (hopefully) another nail in the coffin of organised religion and it's dogma.
