Intelligent Design, another religious dogma

Intelligent Design, ID, proposes an alternative theory to evolutionism by stating that life in the universe did not evolve according to natural selection. Instead of accepting that changes in life occur randomly, ID asserts that a superior designer, God, engineered such changes. This essay outlines why one should be skeptical about Intelligent Design and should not accept it without further and careful analysis.
Discussions around ID have obtained more and more space in the media. Even president George W. Bush mentioned that the addition of ID to the school curriculum should be proposed. But the only reason why this is happening is because ID presents an alternative to evolutionism and this is seen as a positive trend for most American creationists and conservatives.
Critics of ID see it as a repackaging of the creationism theory. Furthermore, the same critics precise that ID lacks theoretical foundations and academy support. ID theories are not empirically observable and are not repeatable.
ID adherents can't accept that life mechanisms as complex as they are simply happens with no other influence from an intelligent mind. This implies that ID merely transfers the complexity of the life design to the designer. Thus a question can be raised from the theory: who designed the designer? This basically positions ID in the same level of incredulity as creationism.
Summarizing, ID arguments resemble arguments from ignorance where one claims the lack of evidence for one view is the evidence for another view. Science cannot explain something thus God did it. It is clear that ID assertions should be refrained from being taught in schools and accepted as a scientific theory right away.
