Michael Behe, in Darwin's Black Box, explains at some length why ID doesn't require a deity.

Behe, as far as I know, posits G-d or a "higher intelligence" as the origin of our life. But, let's say we stay with "higher intelligence". What created that intelligence? If that intelligence isn't G-d, than how did it come to be? Eventually, you always arrive at the same starting point: G-d, no?

Additionally, you may not want to put all your eggs in the "Behe basket". He's been more debunked than phrenology.

As Behe says, the "higher intelligence" can be explained by evolution so long as none of its biochemical systems are irreducibly complex.

I've seen the attempted rebuttals---and his cogent replies.
