Basic biology and the laws of the Universe say otherwise.
--------------
Why do people confuse Intelligent Design with Creationism? Creationism is an entire belief system that says the earth was created in 6 literal days. This is unscriptural and unscientific.
---------------
Design and purpose are seen not only in the orderly workings of the universe but also in the way living creatures, simple and complex, carry on their daily activities, as well as in the way they interact with one another and with the environment. For example, almost every part of our human body—the brain, the eye, the ear, the hand—shows design so intricate that modern science cannot fully explain it. Then there are the animal and plant worlds. The annual migration of certain birds over thousands of miles of land and sea, the process of photosynthesis in plants, the development of one fertilized egg into a complex organism with millions of differentiated cells with specialized functions—just to give a few examples—are all outstanding evidence of intelligent design.
True, science has explained, to a certain extent, many things that were once a mystery. But a child’s discovery of how a watch works does not prove that the watch was not designed and made by someone. Likewise, our understanding the marvelous ways in which many of the things in the physical world function does not prove that there is no intelligent designer behind them. On the contrary, the more we know about the world around us, the more evidence we have for the existence of an intelligent Creator, God.

It's wishful thinking brought up towards scientific status to feel even more comfortable and as if it's something worthy of attention.
It's a pile of crap as you've stated.
If religion ever tries to touch science, it should be slapped on the hand.

It's a desperate attempt to justify holding on to outdated, irrational beliefs and to put off the day when a person must think and reason before taking action.
Although intelligent design is something I value in the household goods I buy from time to time.
Be happy!

It has been demonstated, in court, to be nothing more than Creation Science with a new name.
It is a crock, a sham, a way to trick the public into creationism.
This was proven by the leaking of the Discovery Institute's wedge stratergy document:

I only disagree with the first word in it's title.
Just as an aside, and this is a bit graphic, but diarrhoea doesn't exactly "pile" being a liquid and all.

Creationism in a cheap lab coat. Creationism renamed and repackaged in a tissue-thin cover of pseudoscience.

It is a sensible and rational attempt to explain what is inexplicable in any other way.
