And the Lord said, "Go to sleep, little grad students."
The problem with science has always been that each new discovery unleashes thousands of new questions and ambiguities. So really, the more we discover new stuff, the stupider we get. Clearly, that isn't working. [Intelligent Design] says we shouldn't bother ourselves with resolving scientific inconsistencies or untangling puzzles. We should recognize that what God really wants is for us just to stop learning.
Why didn't I see it before? It's so obvious!
From Slate's Dahlia Lithwick's Modest Proposal in "favor" of intelligent design.

That article was biting and subtly scornful. I loved it.
