Again, a misstatement of the central idea behind intelligent design. ID postulates that some structures essential to life could not have arisen by random forces acting on inanimate matter. Rather, the most logicially coherent inference is that intelligence plays a role. The question of who or what this intelligence is, is not essential to ID theory.
Actually, he stated it perfectly, unless you want to start arguing the difference between 'higher being' and the 'intelligence' that cause these mysterious processes to occur.
And it's an odd coincidence that the people pushing the ID crap are all tied to some religious group or other.
The question of who or what this intelligence is, is not essential to ID theory.
You honestly believe that? 'We think some mysterious entity caused the creation of complex life on Earth (even though we have no physical evidence for this belief). But we aren't really interested in what that entity was - giant robots, evil aliens, Norse Gods, it's all the same to us!'
Yeah, right.
