And besides, you didn't answer my question, "Where does this leave Intelligent Design ?" It seems that this idea has no scriptural support whatsoever in the account of grass being brought forth by the earth at God's command. It seems to me that a scriptural mandate for Intelligent Design would require something to the effect of "God made the grasses," which we do not see. Instead we have the earth left to its own devices, as it were. Not too much of a stretch to see this as a scriptural mandate for Naturalism. What say you?
I can readily accept that God might have use natural laws as a instrumental cause in creation. That being said, do not think that every Christian is a Biblical literalist. I can distinguish between poetic language and historical accounts.
