That's easy. One is based on science and the other on superstition,
some times called faith.

It is not so easy. There is a great deal of misinformation abroad on
the subject, and it behooves a critical thinker to get the facts, which
cannot be reduced to sound bites. Although the Intelligent Design
movement recently suffered a disastrous, humiliating defeat in Dover,
PA, there is still a concerted politico/religious attack on public
school science education underway in the U. S. Citizens who are not
scientists may be deceived by the glib, superficially plausible
arguments of ID if they do not trouble themselves to understand how
science really works.
