But I’m not pretending anything - “Intelligent Design” says that God is Intelligent (which He is) and that God is the Designer. I’m not giving credit or credence to a term that leaves Him out of the equation.

I see you didn't get the memo.

Intelligent design is pretending that it is science, and that the designer could be space aliens or whatever. IDers are deliberately not saying that their "designer" is actually the fundamentalist interpretation of the Christian deity, even though it is clear that is what they really believe.

This dodge is necessary to get ID into schools to replace creation "science" which was removed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Edwards decision in the late 1980s.

So, you are really not supposed to admit that "God is Intelligent and that God is the Designer" because you blow the cover for those still trying to pretend that ID is science.

LOL on the “memo!”

Yes, that’s actually one of the things I did not agree with in the movie. To me “ID” is a shroud to cover “creationism” or “God as creator” ... and even though I am not “supposed to admit” that God is the IntelligentDesigner I am taking a stand against the term “ID” and calling myself a “Creationist” who believes that The Intelligent Designer, God, created the universe and all that that entails. I am also supporting the movie and much of what was exposed including the connection between Darwan-Natzis. I don’t really care what the Supreme Court decided - it doesn’t mean it’s right. God has supremacy over the Supreme Court ...

“IDers are deliberately not saying that their “designer” is actually the fundamentalist interpretation of the Christian deity, even though it is clear that is what they really believe.”

Very presumptious. Can you prove this black helo conspiracy?

Oh, you can’t prove that “truth”, but you still believe it to exist...Interesting.
