"Well, at least it sounds scientific."
If you ever want to see this in spades, take a look at some of the work of the Discovery Institute, especially books like, "Darwin's Doubt", in which it is established that because life is so complicated, it couldn't possibly have come from evolution, because organisms are like computers, and you don't see computers coming from evolution.
I'm not joking. This is the guy's refutation of evolution. "Because intelligence can only comes from intelligence (see: Computers), and organisms have information in them, there must be an Intelligent Designer." That, and because there should have been more fossils found from the Cambrian Explosion.
The guy says it's not a religious argument, but rather scientific, until someone asks him about reduction of, "well if intelligence only comes from intelligence, then you must be a polytheist, because where did the Intelligent Designer come from?"
Then, the answer always boils down to, "Well, it's God obviously, but this is about science, not religion". I'm not joking. The book is called "Darwin's Doubt" and it has become the camel's nose of creationism, poking under the tent of science education.
They say they want to "teach the controversy".
