Intelligent design is retarded. No disinformation is required.
That’s the stuff :)
Read "Darwin's Black Box" by Michael Behe, a professor of biochemistry. It will be the most challenging book you ever read, No religion or voodoo in it, just science of how complex biological mechanisms can not develop solely by random mutations in the 13.8 billion years since the big bang.
Even if that were true, it's not a case for intelligent design. Intelligent design requires a complex mechanism to start with - the one that will do the designing. As a theory it's no better off than evolution, except not only does it have to explain the genesis of complex mechanisms, but the means and methods that were used to design and implement the universe we see.
Intelligent design does not deny evolution, it says that it couldn't happen by random mutation and natural selection alone. Hence there had to be something else altering and accelerating the process by guiding the mutations toward the complexity of the present. That something would be need to be able to alter natural processes, so it would have to be "super-natural." That is why main stream science is so resistant to it.
