But as those intimations have spread, the retrenchment known as creationism has also gained in strength and has widened its appeal, acquiring recruits and sympathizers among intellectual sophisticates, hard-headed pragmatists, and even some scientists.

This statement is patently false and exposes the author's ignorance of Creationism. The books listed above are not Creationist books, and Intelligent Design theory is not Creationism. Anyone who has examined either on an even surface level will come to the same conclusion. This author is clearly engaging in typical materialist rhetoric, setting up straw horses, and fabricating lies in order to build a case where none can be made.

Oh no? The ID'ers claim some person had to create life. And Phillip Johnson, Jonathon Wells, and everyone at the Discovery Institute explicitly want us to believe that this person is the Great Supernatural Authority Figure. (Otherwise ID would be helpless to save society from godless materialist nihlism.)

This is different from creationism how exactly?
