Quote:Intelligent design is said to be a theory which challenges the Theory of Evolution in regards to explaining how the variety of life came to exist.
That is indeed the claim by apologists,but it ain't. Intelligent design is a religious doctrine ,unsupported by evidence. Is based on an old and soundly refuted argument for the existence God.Viz teleological ,or argument from design
Evolution is an established scientific theory supported by evidence. There is not now nor has there ever been any controversy or debate,except within the minds of members the lunatic fringe of theists.

Quote:A teleological argument, or argument from design[1][2][3], is an argument for the existence of God or a creator based on perceived evidence of order, purpose, design, or direction — or some combination of these — in nature. The word "teleological" is derived from the Greek word telos, meaning "end" or "purpose". Teleology is the supposition that there is purpose or directive principle in the works and processes of nature. Immanuel Kant called this argument the Physico–theological proof[4].
