Per a Nova article called 'In Defense of Evolution' posted 10.01.07, interviewing Dr. Kenneth Miller is quoted here saying:
"Phillip Johnson, the father of the intelligent-design movement, likens this process to flipping a coin: if it lands and it's not heads, it must be tails. He says that evolution can't account for the diversity of life, therefore it's got to be something else. The only other thing it could be is an intelligent designer."

∙ 9y agoIntelligent design (ID) is in part a political phenomenon, created because the United States Courts rejected the teaching of creationism, and then 'creation science', as science in the school syllabus.
The proponents of intelligent design believed that, by separating claims for the existence of God from their hypothesis about design of living organisms, the courts would accept ID as a suitable topic for a science course, taught alongside, or instead of, evolution.
According to intelligent design proponents, the specified complexity exhibited in living forms demonstrates that blind natural forces could not by themselves have produced those forms but that their emergence also required the contribution of a designing intelligence.
Barbara Forrest describes the intelligent design movement as beginning in 1984 when Jon A. Buell's religious organization the Foundation for Thought and Ethics published The Mystery of Life's Origin by creationist and chemist Charles Thaxton.
