There will always be a fundamentalist group who have blinded themselves to the myriad of holes in the argument for Evolution. Intelligent Design may be the only alternative, but these fundamentalists cannot accept ID because their entire belief system makes them biased against it.

Well, yeah. My belief system relies on, you know, truth and facts and stuff, so...yeah. Guilty.

There is no "argument" for evolution. It's an accepted scientific theory supported by paleontology, geology, biology, micro-biology, genetics and other disciplines. The only "argument" exists in the minds of fundies. No one else pays any attention to ID other than considering it an amusing example of self-delusion. Fundies keep whompin' on evolution but it just keeps getting stronger.
Holes in a theory don't invalidate it. You can't disprove a theory by "god of the gaps" arguments. We know almost nothing about gravity, but that doesn't make the theory of gravity wrong, or make the theory that the Flying Spaghetti Monster holds everything down with his Noodly Appendage automatically right.
I find it amusing that many creationist/ID proponents fall back, in desperation, by calling evolution a "faith", a "religion", and a "fairy tale". Now we see those who accept it are "fundamentalists". Not only can't they think up new arguments, but they can't even find words of their own, so they just fling them right back without seeing how ridiculous it looks.
Yes the 'belief system' of science thinks that 'Intelligent Design' is neither, rendering it 'a false claim', which science IS biased against. So, you're kind of right.
I "love" how they conveniently ignore that many complex carbon chains allow for self-replication naturally, with it being simple chemistry...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
