Overview

Intelligent Design (ID), which has never been spelled out in detail beyond the level of an informal theory, is often proposed as a viable alternative to the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection. Mainstream scientists generally agree that ID is completely non-viable as a scientific theory, but the challenges continue – and many of the arguments advanced by the ID camp are appealing and quite difficult to refute.

Notes

The OSC analysis linked below seems a pretty reasonable treatment of a solution (Intelligent Design may be in agreement with his beliefs, but it is based on religion rather than science, and schools have no business teaching religion), but it remains to be seen whether it will be accepted by the vast majority of those supporting ID. (See the talk page for further discussion.)
