I agree with your point, but it's that attitude that makes the people not listen to you. You also need to make the distinction that intelligent design is, at its core, a religious intrusion and not biology, which the ID proponents are trying to pass it off as. The problem also lies with the fact that America at large has an appallingly poor understanding of the nature of scientific investigation. They don't understand that science does not take into account the supernatural because in general people seem to hold the opinion that scientists regularly take large leaps of faith, especially with evolution, which a large amount of people believes involves a chicken hatching out of a dinosaur egg. (Or, as one 13 year old put it, "a frog coming from a rock and then turning into a human??? WHO COULD BELEVE THAT!!")
