First, welcome LoneSt@r.

My first thought is the, yes "science" cannot prove (as in 100%, cannot be wrong, cannot be challanged) things. That's not it's purpose. What science CAN do is give us the framework to build theories which A) Fit all available data and B) make predictions about what will occur in the future.

"Intelligent Design" on the other hand has done neither. And while it may be seen as an uncharitable description, all ID says is that at some point, an unknown force performed an unknown action that resulted in things being the way they are now. It has zero descriptive and predictive power. That's just not science.

Now, add to that the fact the the Discovery Institute is one of the primary backers of ID, AND that the Discovery Institute's policy is to support public policy that promotes a "Christian Agenda" (see the Wedge Document). It's easy to see why those who do not see this agenda as benign are equally concerned with Intelligent Design
