Intelligent design?

It would seem that i have stubled on to a topic worth some further atention.
To clarifiy where my objection to Intelligent design lies is in the contoversy in america about it being taught in sicence lesons. As my understanding of Intelligent design goes (correct me if im wrong) it says that life is to coplex to have come in to being through a seris of natural events as in evoloution and therfore this complexity must have been produced by some intelegence. This like evolution has no dfinitve proof and is belived is it logicaly explins things with some surporting evidence (like the eye haveing "evolved" in several unconected groupos of animals).
However the problems come when explaining the mechinisum , evolution is explained by a process of natural selction,but Intelligent design as i understand it is explained by the 'guidence of some inteligence'. Simple logic dictates that if humanity is the most inteligent thing known to siscence and our dablings in genectics are happazard at best (cloning for example the numbers of unsucsefull clones out nuber sucsefull ones many times over) then the inteligece must be manny many times grater than ours. Since this inteligence is far grater than any worldly being it must be something beond our sicientific understanding. Be it , aliens , god/s or my personal favoraite the supremmly inteligent inter dimensional creatures that appear as mice and are useing the world as a giant supper computer to find the question to the life the unizerse and everything. And discounting the silly ones (apologies to any ralians or any one whos bible is the hithchikers guider to the galaxy) It seems that this inteligent desiner is some sort of good or other focus of religios worship.
Therfore Intelligent design is religion and so should be taught as such and NOT as sicence.
