ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the importance of intelligent design to Darwinian evolution. Intelligent design demands to be recognized as a direct and scientific competitor with the theory of evolution. Promoters of intelligent design barely try to undermine evolution as a vast model of the world. Furthermore, it appeals to notions that are far more a part of the lexicon of science than religion.
