Again, I will refer you back to this from Alan Boyle’s Cosmic Log and encourage you to look at the links.

I’m not going to write a lot because this doesn’t actually require a lot of thinking. Look at this definition of theory from dictionary.com. Intelligent Design is not a theory. It does not make any predictions. ID also has no direct facts that support it. That alone says that ID is simply pseudoscience. Speciation by natural selection, on the other hand, has been directly observed. One more point: the theory of evolution by natural selection only involves the evolution of species from pre-existing ones; it has nothing to do with abiogenesis. You cannot equate the two.
