An apparently unprovable hypothesis that living creatures were created by an all-powerful, intelligent entity that itself did not have a creator. Contrast with evolution. ID proponents typically fail to understand 4 things:
1) Scientists use the word "theory" differently than the layperson
2) Science operates just fine in the absence of absolute truths. Thus, if evolutionary theory doesn't explain everything, that's not a problem - it's a "work in progress"
3) People are no better off substituting a slightly imperfect scientific theory for a completely unsupported religious hypothesis
4) The fact that ID cannot be disproven is a weakness, not a strength (e.g. There are 482,331 raisins orbiting Saturn right now... I defy you to prove me wrong).

If Intelligent Design is such a great alternative explanation to evolutionary theory, why aren't proponents actually USING it to advance scientific understanding? In short, they should practice what they preach... literally.

An act that happens when one is travelling in Tijuana and happens upon a spectacle show in which a small mexican woman is preforming intercourse on a horse. It's similar to a live sex show in Amsterdam, only not.
After I completed a great first date meal in which the guy did not offer to pay, we then proceed to discuss random things.
Guy: "So I was in Tijuana with my friends..."
Chick: "Yeah?"
Guy: "...and we saw interhorse show."
Chick: "That's quite interesting because you're the second person that I was discussing interhorse with this weekend!"
