Evolutionists Appropriating ID?

Recently someone here suggested that the "evolutionists" are ready to explain away intelligent design, if they can't deny it. There is a perfect response to that charge, from today's newspaper.

This might only work today. (Monday, June 18 -- you can step back to that date after today, using a little red "<" icon that is by the date.)

For those not able to see it:

A teacher sits at his desk in the Biology 101 class. Behind him is a drawing on the board. It depicts a UFO and an "alien DNA beam" going from it to a knuckle-dragging humanoid. Then there is a spear-carrying human that the humanoid has evolved into, and then a rocket taking off; signs of human advancement after the DNA beam is received. A man, likely the beleaguered principal, stands at the door of the classroom. The teacher is saying, "Hey, I'm not the one who insisted on presenting an alternative explanation."

That's almost as funny as -

I get that a reasoned explanation isn't one that can be brought forward so the
discussion instead was lowered to just belittle. Where chance really cannot be
given credit your left with something that needs or requires a guiding force.

Well that wasn't actually the point.

We get that you creationists don't believe evolution is possible and use pseudo-scientific
arguments about probability to try to support your position.
And every so often one of us will refute those arguments....

but that isn't what happened here.

What was suggested was that WE [skeptics/scientists/'evolut e mock the idea because someone so stupid as to make that argument deserves nothing else.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
