In his blog Derek Bickerton takes on Intelligent Design and argues against it in simple everyday language. His arguments are non-technical and will probably appeal to non-scientific audience. That's the way to win the cultural war according to Bickerton.
Richard Dawkins argued in "Unfinished Correspondence with a Darwinian Heavyweight" in A Devil's Chaplain, that debating creationists only gives them the credibility they don't deserve. I guess the best way to decide which strategy is likely to be more successful would be to conduct a scientific study. It is an empirical question after all :)
On a related note, at edge.org Daniel C. Daniel writes: "Is intelligent design a hoax? And if so, how was it perpetrated?"
