I've poked a number of these guys. They are so afraid to admit that God is the designer. But it's a good bet that that is exactly what they think. Why? The only answer I can see is political. To admit that God is the designer makes ID a religious concept and that means that it can't gain traction in public schools. But everyone can see the emperor has no clothes on. It's really kind of sad.
Why not punt and come back with something that makes more sense and is not so blantantly obvious?
