bad science vs bad theology

I found two articles this morning in Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science) regarding science and God. It mentions intelligent design theory intertwining creationism (God) with evolution (Darwinism).

The question: Is intelligent design bad theology?
"Intelligent design theory (ID), the latest version of scientific creationism to challenge the Darwinian orthodoxy in biology, is in the unenviable position of being damned as both bad science and bad theology. However, if those charges are true, then the basis of our belief in both science and God may be irrational. At the very least, ID suggests that belief in the two may be interdependent."
