Intelligent design
So called 'Intelligent design' is one of many crackpot religious theories that basically try to explain our existence. Realising that creationism is clearly a big pile of shit (the several hundred million year old fossils in the ground make any attempt to claim the earth is only a few thousand years old rather spurious), the religious loons came up with this alternative.
In very simple terms, they attempt to rubbish evolution by claiming that the evolutionary changes in any organism could only have been triggered by a guiding force (God), and could not have occurred over time by natural selection, as this process seems very random.
HOWEVER...
By that rationale, God himself could not have simply 'occurred', and must have been created by some other being, as his existence could not have happened by chance either. AND the hand that helped there, must have had a hand in its own creation, and that hand must have had help...
ad nauseum.
Bunch of cocknobs.
