Intelligent-design theory states that certain features of the natural world are of such complexity that the most plausible explanation is that they are products of an intelligent cause rather than random mutation and natural selection.

Excellent. So we’ll have supernaturalists studying mysterious flagellal phenomena from now on. Cool.
