Why in the world are there different types of flagella?

Why do different fish have different fins? Why do alligators, birds, horses, and people have different legs yet worms and slugs have none?

Or think of it this way - come up with two numbers when added together equal twelve.

Sometimes different demands produce different responses and sometimes there is more than one way to solve the problem.

I know the answer, but I want to hear the ID crowd's answer. If they were ID'd, why are there so many different kinds? you'd think the ID'er would design one perfectly good motor locomotor and that would be that, but any 12 year old who looks at pond water under an elementary scope will tell you they can see different looking and acting flagella. Why ID'ers?
