It depends on what the word Theory means....

as to whether or not Intelligent Design have parity with the scientific concept of evolution, or even why the religious theory has bound itself so tightly to the conservative movement.

In the post, Zeno notes:
"There are no surprises here for the informed citizen who knows a little bit about the enterprise of scientific research and the standards of proof that accompany it. Wilson continues his essay by discussing such things as the religious motives of intelligent design advocates and design flaws in nature (the eye's “blind spot”) that suggest the absence of an intelligent designer. He was promptly taken to task, of course, by those ID sympathizers whose will to believe in a creator God makes them eager to embrace ID as scientific (and not a thinly veiled attempt to make fundamentalist religious dogma more respectable)."
