Intelligent Design or Ignorant Denial?

Intelligent Design proports to stop asking questions, to stop inquiring. The theory that some "intelligence" created life equates to a statement that "this is so complex, we should stop looking into it." Science, as I understand it, is the quest to figure out how things work, how things link together, and is an activity of inquiry. Intelligent Design rebukes one of the most central and basic tennets in scientific investigation ... the part about investigation.
To take this criticism to another level, Karl Popper said science was an activity of refutation. A good scientists revels in a disproval of a long-held theory because it is equivolent to overturning a superstition. If the idea can't hold up to falsification, it shouldn't be held any longer. ID does nothing of the sort. In fact, ID attempts to proove their thesis rather than seek out evidence to the contrary.
