I hope you are not equating the two.

You did. They are both subjects.

Well the other problem is that ID isn't really science it is? Intelligent design is just another name for creationism.

Wrong. And on the subject of rich man and poor man, they both count as one vote.

No, ID isn't quite another name for creationism. The 'designer' (or designers) could be space aliens, or an intelligent mechanism built into the universe, or the earth. Creationism implies a specific monotheistic theological commitment, ID doesn't (per se, though I've not noticed any 'Gaia hypothesis IDers' running around).

The real reason ID isn't science is that it doesn't start with a scientific theory of intelligence. (It could, at which point the "ID isn't science" and especially the "ID can't be science" arguments collapse.)
