Intelligent design makes sense

I have been reading with interest the articles regarding the Dover school district and intelligent design. I find it sad that people object so strongly against the four paragraphs that the school board included in the biology curriculum. You would think with all the clamor that something horrible was being forced upon the students, yet it was a mere statement acknowledging another possibility for how life came to be. Can’ those who favor evolution admit that there might be other possibilities for the origin of the universe? Are people so closed-minded that they won’t recognize any theory other than evolution?
Life is so complex that any rational, thinking person would have to at some point acknowledge there is at least the possibility that some intelligent design was necessary to bring about all the complex life forms that we find upon earth. The likelihood of all the life forms and laws of the universe coming about of their own accord is about as likely as a house being built by itself. If the materials that a house is made of were laid out on a building lot, how long would it take for evolution to bring that house together without any help from a person? No amount of time will do it. Yet a house is relatively simple in comparison to the complexity of life forms.
I think intelligent design is a far better explanation for the complexities of the universe than evolution.
