That was basically part of the background conversation I was describing. Like I said, I'm a geologist, so I'm hardly the right one to describe research microbiology or genetics, but his research basically had to do with temperature regulation of bacteria. I guess what I was mainly interested in was the process and how ID was used in his research.
It seems you didn't get much of an idea of that process. A claim of design use in research is too broad to be useful. In some sense we all do that. It has little to do with Intelligent Design theory.
