Or, alternatively, you can think about it a tad and say "Hey, the scientists are intelligent and they designed something".

So what? I'm seriously at a loss to see the significance (or logic) in this line of reasoning. The reasoning seems to be that because scientists can intelligently manipulate a pig's genetic components to make human growth hormone, the pigs starting genetic components (or maybe the whole pig) must have been intelligently designed.

Extending this logic, because scientists can intelligently manipulate sand into silicon chips, does that mean sand was intelligently designed?

It was your mistake to define ID as being Creationism. Since ID can and does stand alone as a meaningful term, why don't you put it this way ~ that there are some Creationists who claim their process (false interpretation of Genesis) is actually ID.

I see no reason to give up all the good, short, concise terminology to the Creationists.
