Intelligent Design is the theory that all biological complexity must derive from a non-human designer (such as [[God]]), rather than the random process of [[evolution]]. Critics often assert that it is Creationism-lite, in that it is a means of sneaking creationism into schools without overt religious implications. Proponents of intelligent design argue that the Designer need not ''necessarily'' be God, because that would make ID a religious theory that could not be taught in public schools until the United States once again has a Godly government. Instead, the Designer could also be, for example, a space alien with the power to create the universe.

Proponents of Intelligent Design generally adopt the 'argument from incredulity'. They argue, essentially, that the complexity of living organisms is such that it could only come from an intelligent 'designer', without much justification other than their own inability to understand how evolution could create the same complexity.
