Most scientists reject it out-of-hand as disguised Creationism.
The main premise of Intelligent Design is that there are some anatomical structures which cannot have developed by Natural Selection.
Scientists in the field usually respond by explaining that there are no such features and what is described as 'Irreducibly Complex' could have evolved by natural selection.
The Intelligent Design movement has been seeking scientific backing for creationism since the late twentieth century. Unfortunately for the movement, no such support has been forthcoming, nor is it likely to come, since so-called Intelligent Design is unsupported by facts or evidence.
Centre for Intelligent Design was created in 2010.

Intelligent Design - book - was created in 1999-10.
it is a rhetoric device to prove how stupid intelligent design is. may we all be touched by his noodly appendages, Ramen!
In a religious context, Intelligent Design would normally be capitalised. On the other hand if I told an engineer that his new invention is an intelligent design, this usage would not be capitalised.
Barbara Forrest describes the intelligent design movement as beginning in 1984 when Jon A. Buell's religious organisation the Foundation for Thought and Ethics published The Mystery of Life's Origin by creationist and chemist Charles Thaxton. The idea for intelligent design came about 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 hoped that the courts would accept intelligent design as a suitable topic for a science course, taught alongside, or instead of, evolution.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Certainly; other religions also have creation theories. The Intelligent Design (ID) theory, which is regarded by some to be of Christian origin is specifically criticized by the creation science movement for being specifically silent on the issue of who did the intelligent designing. Thus, some of its proponents may not be Christian, at least not in the orthodox sense, or they are not prepared to state their position (which is certainly their right).
A few years ago, some members of the creationism movement adopted the name 'intelligent design' in an attempt to persuade the United States courts that not only was creationism science but that its advocates were neutral as to who the 'intelligent designer' was. Some creationists, who would otherwise be supportive of the Intelligent Design movement, are bitterly opposed to Intelligent Design because they resist any hypothesis that does not clearly and unambiguously put God at the centre of creation.Among the churches, there are different views on this so-called Intelligent Design. For example:In the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict has refused to endorse "intelligent design", instead backing "theistic evolution" which considers that God created life through evolution with no clash between religion and science. The position of the Catholic Church is in favour of the Theory of Evolution, not the obviously artificial construct of Intelligent Design.The Episcopal Church has said that the theory of evolution does not conflict with Christian faith. In 2006, the General Convention affirmed, via Resolution A129, that God is creator and added that "the theory of evolution provides a fruitful and unifying scientific explanation for the emergence of life on earth, that many theological interpretations of origins can readily embrace an evolutionary outlook, and that an acceptance of evolution is entirely compatible with an authentic and living Christian faith." This leaves no room for Intelligent Design.For more information on the background of the Intelligent Design movement, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
An increasingly large percentage of modern scientists believe in an intelligent designer of the universe and life, and this is now an established one way trend. To understand why this interesting and relatively recent turn of events has occurred, see Intelligent Design vs. Evolution - The Miracle of Intelligent Design at the attached link.A Different PerspectiveThere is no widespread acceptance of intelligent design aka creationism within the mainstream scientific community. For an interesting and comprehensive discussion of the pseudoscience used to support ID and the scientific counter-arguments see the decision in Kitzmiller v Dover at the link provided below.

A:When Intelligent Design was proposed for inclusion in the school syllabus as an alternative hypothesis to science, the United States Supreme Court considered the matter and decided that Intelligent Design is indeed a tenet of religion.
