The problem is that the DI is telling people what they want to hear. I gues you could say that there is a demand for BS, and they are just the suppliers. People want there to be a supreme guiding force. They want to believe that the world was "designed" by some sort of "intelligence". So long as that demand exists, there will always be con artists catering to it. I don't think scientific PR has any hope of competing with it.
It would be like getting people to stop eating Snickers and start eating carrots instead.
