Science and religion controversies began well before Charles The trial of Galileo in 1633 for publishing Dialogue, a book that supported the Copernican theory that the earth revolved around the sun was perhaps the earliest. Which at this point we all know is the other way around and more or less in conflict with the Bible, thus the trial. So Darwinism wasn’t the first issue without a doubt and won’t be the last.

Intelligent Design is different than creationism, followers believe only that the complexity of the natural world could not have occurred by luck and randomness. Some entity must have created the complexity is the core thread of thought. The designer ultimately can be anything or anyone. William Paley popularized the design argument:

If we assume that a watch must have been fashioned by a watchmaker, then we should assume that an ordered universe must have been fashioned by a divine Creator.

The limited scope of Intelligent Design theory makes it compatible with a wide range of theories. Some ID theorists believe in evolution—or at least that species can change over time. The main delta from all-in science is that intelligent design does not assume that everything has a natural cause.
