As if the theory of intelligent design could not possibly cite a specific intelligent agent!

But it deliberately avoids doing that.

It is actually capable of more specificity than the theory of evolution. It posits a single, almighty, intelligent agent

Almighty? No I don't think ID does specify that, in fact it doesn't specify anything about the designer at all, not even whether there is just one designer. I've heard supporters say that the designer isn't necessarily god - it could be aliens.

Or a committee of bureaucratic aliens.

This ID thingy is starting to make sense ....

There are indeed a number of suggestions. On the face of it there are good reasons to infer that the intelligence is omnipotent, omniscient, and singular.

I doubt there are many of you who think the Raelians are credible.
