What I am specifically talking about is the fact that ID'ers, in order to promote their fundamentalist creationist agenda, try to deny their true purpose in order to "wedge" their way into a science curriculum. Just admit it and rely on the Lord. I mean, ID'ers now go to great lengths to deny a religious purpose and deny any relationship to creationism. But, sometimes, not every ID'er gets the memo to mislead, to wit the U. of Oklahoma Creation Science club announcement that they were now to be known as the IDEA club.

"Welcome to the University of Oklahoma IDEA Club website! We are no longer the Creation Science Society. Our new name is Intelligent Design & Evolution Awareness Club. That's IDEA Club for short"

Creation Club Changes to ID Club

Paddlefish, i think you've missed the boat here. Either life is so complex that it had to be designed or it isn't. One need not be a fundamentalist to see that. One could be angry at his creator, and reject any relationship with, or duty to, Him altogether, and still acknowledge that there IS a creator or designer.

Your predicate seems to be that ID requires faith. I'm coming at it from the other way. Being a biology major and having been deeply schooled in evolutionary theory, I didn't see enough evidence nor could I assemble enough faith to buy into it. I think an examination of biological complexity declares a creator.
