Gilligan's Island is a good metaphor for the ID movement. The Professor keeps inventing spectacular sounding ways to get off the island (i.e. waterloo for darwinism). But every time Gilligan (the creationists) has to ruin it (by mentioning Jesus). Meanwhile, the super-genius can't just fix the two foot hole in the boat (provide some evidence).
In this metaphor the Skipper is the Davescot of old, smacking the Gilligans with his hat.
