As near as I can tell, ID attempts to co-opt scientific discoveries about the world and life by claiming they couldn't have occurred without a directing inteligence, i.e. God. The ID folks present no scientifically acceptable proof of this, and just claim that it's "obvious". Even if it were "obvious", I contend it wouldn't necessarily be proof of God, but might just be proof that we were an experiment by super-intelligent aliens millions of years ago, and the earth is their petri dish. In the end, ID is still "faith based". I'll stick with evolution, problems and all. I see no reason presented by the ID folks that God (if there is one) couldn't be working his will through the apparently random actions of evolution and natural selection.
