Since if you're not an atheist, you allow for the possibility of a Mind or Intelligence behind nature, this puts 10 percent in the I.D. camp.

I thought ID was not about religion. And I haven't heard that the Discovery Institute has changed their position on this. So the author must be from a religion based ID group rather than a non-religious ID group. When will these IDers get their act together and come to some agreement on what ID is?

And while they're at it, they need to come up with some falsifiable tests and some predictions about future discoveries/phenomena, just like real scientific theories do...that is, if they want their theory to be taken seriously and want it to actually be useful for something other than philosophizing and IDer worship.

It's actually funny- they're better at being consistent with their evolution strawmen then they are at being consistent with their own 'theory'. ID is or is not religion at their convenience, but at least they can agree that the Theory of Evolution covers the origins of life.
