SETI rebuffs Intelligent Design
Inteligent Design, the idea that David Brin writes non-ficton (seriously, do you think ID promoters would be giving so many talks to church groups if they honestly believed we are the descendents of Slaver food yeast?), often makes reference to SETI as an activity that makes use of a "design inference". William Dembsli uses SETI as an example quite often, although he uses the setup in Carl Sagan's science fiction novel "Contact", rather than what the real SETI does. Now the good folk at SETI have written a nice article pointing out how ID proponents misuse SETI.
