Creationism is theological, Intelligent Design is not.

Except that nobody actually believes this, ID theorists least of all - start asking who the designer might be, and the theological import of ID becomes crystal-clear.

you: Except that nobody actually believes this, ID theorists least of all - start asking who the designer might be, and the theological import of ID becomes crystal-clear.

Indeed, that many believers - who would never deny Christ - tend to mix terms contributes to the problem.

Hopefully this project will help conservatives to avoid doing that. The intelligent design hypothesis is clearly not theological - it has no doctrine, no articles of faith, no Holy writ - and it is not an origin-of-life hypothesis.

seems you are committing the fallacy from concomitant relations or you're collapsing categories at least, general_re.
