At Mere Comments, Russell Moore makes some points:

Likewise, the latest issue of the Atlantic Monthly features a cartoon pointing out things that are "not conspicuously intelligent design." Most of the items are typical…why does God put the nose on the face, for example. But the last is telling: death. The cartoonist points out that death "crimps planning," is "one-sided," and "after x-million years, exact function still being debated."

Intelligent Design is a helpful "wedge" to let the unsuspecting know that Darwinism doesn’t have all the answers it pretends to have. But it will take more than ID to answer the groanings of the human heart in the face of a creation in bondage to sin, decay, and death (Rom 8). For that we need a gospel of the restoration of all things through the blood of Christ.
