I'm Catholic, and I respect Fr. Coyne's scientific contributions, but he is confusing ID and creationism. They are not the same.

Indeed. ID, although less bad on the grounds of ludicrous biblical interpretation, is arguably WORSE than "creation science" in regard to the theology of creationism. It is even more insistently "God, er, 'Intelligent Designer,' of the gaps" oriented than old fashioned creationism, and therefore equally or more deistic as opposed to theistic.

That is what the creators of the "Wedge Document" would like to have you believe.

I'm thinking that's what he's doing, too. If he's only reading media reports about it, though, I could see why he'd be confused.
