the gripe against intelligent design is that 1., it's being added to the lesson plan in some public schools and taught along side of the scientific theory of evolution, which does not involve the idea of god, sureme being automater, whatever. this is clearly a violation of the constitutional separation of church teachings in a state institution.
the second problem is that intelligent design by all means is not scientific, rather it is philosophic. it's main tenent is the assumption that there is, again, god, which has yet to be proven scientifically.
the theory of evolution is based upon observable facts, and hypothesis derived from examining all available data.
and in case you are interested, check out this article detailing the mapping process of the universe: http://www.newscientist.com/arti…

i think the main downside to intelligent design is that it's a conversation ender. if taught and followed, it ends all other questioning and research into the very fundamental question of who we are and where we came from. humans as a species are much too curious to accept this.
