IMHO intelligent design is a back door way of bringing creation theory into the classroom by mostly religeous groups. Most, not all, intelligent design proponents I've talked with are Christians. Interestingly, most Christians I know believe in evolution theory. They just believe their god started the ball rolling.
The problem as I see it is that evolution is complicated and there are missing links etc... These groups use these complications to theorize that life is too complex to have evolved naturally so there must be an intelligent designer behind life's diversity. So they are pushing the schools to teach it along side evolution (or equalization of belief in your words).
I believe the evolutionists are trying to understand how life has evolved on our planet and the intelligent designers are really trying to foster a belief in their higher being (God).
