If you haven't looked at ED:LULZ in a while, now is a great time to catch up.
Intelligent design
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Intelligent design is a government initiative started by the fundies. Their arguments go as such: Science is both boring and complicated. To get around this problem it is essential to take action, and this comes in the form of replacing the dull and difficult science with a pseudo scientific idea that even a fundamentalist can understand.

[edit] Where da lulz at?
Possibly the lulziest part of this whole shitstorm is the ID camp's insistence that the "creator" is an undefined entity. Sure, it could be God, but really, I mean, you can think of it as like, you know, a rock, spaghetti, or something. This idea is almost as clever as the 12 Step program in which courts order people to attend a rehabilitation program which requires you to believe in some kind of higher power. Lulz, America. Lulz.
Some have even clamed that this intelligent designer is, in fact, Pastor Robert Tilton.
[edit] What passes for academic inquiry
The counter argument to intelligent design mostly comes from evolution, which claims to be superior merely because it has time-tested empirical evidence supporting it. To counter the counter argument, ID advocates state that the pious don’t need logic, so that’s alright then isn’t it? This argument has been propagated across the internets for around a hundred years, and yet nobody has changed their mind after hearing the other side of the argument. This is probably because IDers start out so incredibly fucktarded that they wouldn't know a well-reasoned point of view if it fucked their girlfriend and shit on their coffee table. Get in the car, kids.
