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.

Equating "Creationism" with "Biblical Creationism" makes it easy to explain. Of course, if one is not an adherent of either idea, they appear identical for all practical purposes.

Um, why? If a creation event is not an element of your religion, then why hold the belief at all? What difference does it make to the way you lead your life? Or anything else?
