Not overtly, no. But if you poll IDers as to who the designer was/is, I'll bet you the vast majority would pick the Judeo-Christian God. IIRC, such a poll was taken recently in Ohio -- whose school board was considering requiring ID instruction in the schools -- and something like 80 percent said they thought God was the designer. In theory, of course, it could be aliens or time travelers or what have you; but in the U.S. (and I haven't seen that ID has much of a following outside of America) most IDers are putting their money on the Almighty.

Thank you for your reply!

I do not doubt that Christians and Jews would promote the "Intelligent Design" model. But that has no more to do with science than the fact that atheists and agnostics promote the "Evolution" model.

The bottom line IMHO is that "Intelligent Design" is neutral to religion and thus would not run afoul of the establishment clause.
