I, also, don't understand why some people equate the theory of Intelligent Design with creationism. Perhaps they are too stupid to see the difference.

You mean they don't overlap at all? So one is design without creation and the other is creation without design?

Wow, I hadn't thought about it that way!

Oops - I guess I didn't express myself very well. I should have said, I don't understand why people in the media seem to ALWAYS equate the theory of Intelligent Design with Biblical creation, because one CAN believe in the theory of Intelligent Design without being a Biblical creationist.

I accept the theory of Intelligent Design from a non-Biblical viewpoint. My view of who the Intelligent Designer is, is different than the creationists' view. I don't have a specific entity in mind; whereas the creationists believe the Intelligent Designer is the God of the Bible.

Yet, people in the media claim that only Biblical creationists believe in Intelligent Design. I am here to disprove that notion.

To this day you've still not explained to us specifically how Intelligent Design theory is "Creationism". You need to do this and support it with references to ID work in order for anyone to take you seriously.
