The Crusade Against Evolution
Article in Wired about evolution vs. "intelligent design":

This is an issue, of course, that was supposed to have been settled long ago. But 140 years after Darwin published On the Origin of Species, 75 years after John Scopes taught natural selection to a biology class in Tennessee, and 15 years after the US Supreme Court ruled against a Louisiana law mandating equal time for creationism, the question of how to teach the theory of evolution was being reopened here in Ohio. The two-hour forum drew chanting protesters and a police escort for the school board members. Two scientists, biologist Ken Miller from Brown University and physicist Lawrence Krauss from Case Western Reserve University two hours north in Cleveland, defended evolution. On the other side of the dais were two representatives from the Discovery Institute in Seattle, the main sponsor and promoter of intelligent design: Stephen Meyer, a professor at Palm Beach Atlantic University's School of Ministry and director of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, and Jonathan Wells, a biologist, Discovery fellow, and author of Icons of Evolution, a 2000 book castigating textbook treatments of evolution..

Good lord -- I have no idea how this debate continues. As the article states, Intelligent Design is simply a modernized form of creationism. Changing the name of the theory doesn't add anything of value, and it doesn't make it any less wrong. Creationism has been debunked so many times by so many people, I seriously question anyone who can state that either God or an alien intelligence created life with a straight face.  ¶ 2:41 p.m.
