Intelligent Design doesn't "have creationist roots". It has a Creationist trunk, Creationist branches, Creationist twigs and Creationist leaves.
It's Creationism in bad glasses and a wig.
Even the supposedly new centre-point of ID: irreducible complexity is the exact same argument that Creationists have been peddling for years, it boils down to "wah, wah, wah, it's complicated" ergo "
GodThe-Intelligent-Designer-formerly-known-as-God did it".
