True, but what ID people will point out, is that the complexity of the thing being produced is unimaginably complex and well-designed and couldn't be produced within a reasonable amount of time going on chance alone. The point I was trying to make wasn't that anyways, it was that the author felt that the theory was somehow linked to the idea the science can't understand the universe as is. ID theory doesn't really depend upon whether scientific theory can understand the universe...in fact the more complex and understanding we have of it, the more they'll point to the FACT that the universe isn't simple, but has a complex design--hence designer(s).
This is a really badly written comment by someone who doesn't understand the principles/arguments behind intelligent design. Intelligent design as a theory doesn't claim that the world is incomprehensible scientifically. In fact it points to the scientifically-verified complexity and order in the universe as suggesting the idea that there was a Mind that must have brought about such order, because otherwise the universe would be in relative chaos not order. Science could never prove or disprove such a theory--the complexity of how bees fly would only support their theory, not go against it:>). As to the nature of that Mind or even Minds, true intelligent design theory doesn't comment. This person was trying to start a flame war...but I guess that's how slashdot keeps its search position high:>).
