What are some pros to the intelligent design theory?

If nothing else, it's useful in pointing out areas where evolutionary theory has been getting by on hand-waving and needs a bit more thought put in to "hey, exactly how COULD that happen, anyway?" People who want NOT to believe something tend to be somewhat better at finding the holes in a theory than people who want TO believe it are (then the people who want to believe it patch those holes, and the theory gets better). Answer The pros of any 'gap-filler' story like intelligent design and creation are to answer a question (in this case of life origins) that the human mind desperately desires answering. However intelligent design and its approximate synonym creation are easy ways out, very much for an out-of-the-laboratory public. Humans find questions that are completely answered comforting. They seek the comfort of having their quests fulfilled. However people who console themselves with the intelligent design and creationism notion, very unfortunately do not always understand much science (in the case of theories of origins) and seem to often blind themselves to the obviousness and logicality of scientific explanations like evolution. They may blind themselves as they think they got their idea (their answer) first, and the logical scientists take too long (no doubt through too many pain-staking measurements in the laboratory). Intelligent design and creation may be fillers of information-gaps that people use to comfort themselves. But they should then take the next step and understand what science and logicality has to say about the world.
