An argument for Intelligent Design

This article pretty much speaks for itself. Suffice it to say that it's conclusion is similar to a joke my friend Dean Evans does, basically saying that the religious wrong/Christian coalition/wacko bunch decided that there was a point in time (it seems to be somewhere between the 20's and 50's) that humanity reached some imaginary finish line and that all progress beyond that is evil.

You know, with the intelligent design theory we're no further ahead than the ancient Egyptians. They answered all of their unanswered questions with god. Why does the sun rise and set? The sun god. Why does the Nile flood and recede every year? The river god. Why does the wind blow? The wind god. And so on, and so on, and so on. I guess, according to intelligent design we've actually been wasting our time in science classes and laboratories for the last 6000 years.
