That's kind of hard to believe, since there is nothing remotely analogous to human design concpts in living things, nor is there anything designed by humans remotely similar to living processes. We haven't even figured out what it is we would need to copy.

But the main reason why it is hard to believe is that ID advocates are such cruddy liars. They will disavow religious intent on one post and claim that critics are religion bashing on another post.

Well, I said it is fallacious, but your assertion goes too far. For example, there is a remote analogy between computer programs and expression of DNA. For another, there is an analogy between DNA transcription and information encoding. For another, we often speak of "biological clocks" which is an analogy.

nor is there anything designed by humans remotely similar to living processes

I guess you must disagree, but I consider the products of genetic and evolutionary programming techniques to be (human) designs because their functions satisfy a prior specification. These techniques are very similar to biological evolution.

But the main reason why it is hard to believe is that ID advocates are such cruddy liars.

Every last one of them? I think you need to distinguish between error and lie. Most of the anti-evos who post here are simply ignorant.
