The real problem with Intelligent Design is not so much that it is based on Creationism, rather, the problem is simply that it is the opposite of logic. Essentially, it is a principle that says "we don't know some things, therefore we should just forget about trying to learn those things and wrap everything up in a nice little bow called 'higher power'".
It's nothing more than an "I don't know. I give up." mentality.
And this is a problem because the people that support this mentality are making headway in getting it implemented in our educational system.
