"I think I'll make me a lemur today"

On those rare occasions when he decides to write about something other than foreign policy, Charles Krauthammer is capable of producing brilliant columns. Today's was a gem. The whole thing is worth reading, but this paragraph is particularly good.

Let's be clear. Intelligent design may be
interesting as theology, but as science it is a
fraud. It is a self-enclosed, tautological "theory"
whose only holding is that when there are gaps
in some area of scientific knowledge -- in this
case, evolution -- they are to be filled by God.
It is a "theory" that admits that evolution and
natural selection explain such things as the
development of drug resistance in bacteria and
other such evolutionary changes within species
but also says that every once in a while God
steps into this world of constant and
accumulating change and says, "I think I'll
make me a lemur today."
