Is this the problem?

"Intelligent design is actually less an explanation than it is a way of poking holes in evolutionary theory. On the whole, the scientific community deplores it, not least because its claims cannot be tested by experiment."

That's the opinion of David Yount, as carried by the Scripps Howard news service and reprinted in the News Tribune. For someone on the other side (I guess) that strikes me as a really succint summation of the problem.

Of course, I belive very much in chance.
