Water doesn't always boil at 100C. At higher elevations the boiling point is lower and if you add salt to the water the boiling point is higher.
I just thought I would throw in that useless trivia. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Seriously, though. I fail to see how "intelligent design" is any different than Creationism; any "intelligence" sophisticated enough to actually design an entire universe, or even just a generic planet and its biosphere, might as well be called God.
It sounds like some sort of psuedo-intellectual fad to me, just like the various forms of "revisionist" history.
