ID does not specify the creator.

Ok. But it does certainly specify a creator! Just because the Discovery Institute learned through years of trial and error that they can sneak their neo-creationism past a few more unknowing (or uncaring) school boards by "not specifying a creator," does not make it ID any better than garden variety creationism, sorry.

Of course, this whole end-around of the ID movement could be looked upon with a wary eye towards purposeful deceit, but I won't go that far. Yet.

Well, whattarelief, whattajoke.

I have noticed a certain modern rhetorical tendency: the attribution of nefarious motives to one's opponent, rather than engage in dispassionate analysis of the opponent's argument. I gather it's easier to declaim against bad motives and bad faith than to make a counterargument based on reason and evidence.
