Intelligent (?) Design

In case you missed it, I consider the theory of Intelligent Design to be idolatrous polytheism. Anytime I hear some dim bulb Christian clown espouse the idea of ID, I shudder. I never did really understand the story of the golden calf: how could the children of Israel, having been led out of slavery in week 1, turn about on week 2 and hold a golden buffet of idolatry?! Never understood it... never, that is, until I heard Christians spouting about the polytheism of Intelligent Design. And we wonder how this country got into the present fix, especially when we have such great leaders of politics, finance, religion...the list goes on.
