"Coy" is exactly the right word. When you pin down any IDer he/she will eventually say the designer is God (Behe did under cross examination). You make "the biotech guy" do the same as God, they must therefore be as God.

So, by my Godness as defined by r9etb, I banish all IDers to the rug under the stairs where they are to remain until the Phorids and Ichneumons are finished. Then they will be removed to an entirely inappropriate rock stratum as fossils.

What a hoot!

Oh? Are you God, then? Are the folks who produce my son's insulin, God? Of course not. Which just goes to show that, with this statement you're imposing an unnecessary layer on the hypothesis, and in so doing you have met the exact standard for building the dreaded "strawman argument."

You make "the biotech guy" do the same as God, they must therefore be as God.

But I don't "make" the biotech guy do anything except what he's doing -- which is intelligent design, sans the supernatural trappings. Which leaves you somewhat short of having made a point.

All this simply drives home the point I've been making all along: your characterization of what and ID hypothesis must include is incorrect.
