Author Topic:   ID, one designer or many designers?

I read with much interest that the major proponents of ID do not feel that the nature, or number, of designers need be discussed. I find that rather disturbing.
Why is the nature, numbers, quality of the designers, or if it/they had designer/s of their own not up for discussion in the ID community?

Is that to keep the "big tent" of Creationism functioning like one big happy family. I would figure that's why and OEC/Theistic Evolutionist like Behe is so widely quoted even though his base beliefs, Old Earth and common decent are so easily glossed over.

Thanks for the link Jeff.
That is something else I find so interesting is the liberal use of the "X is just so" arguement. Instead of seeing that life, especially the type of life we are most familiar with, is built to take advantage of the special properties of the universe, such as:
1: The Earth - Sun Distance
2: The properties of water
3: The Properties of Carbon
4: Etc.
and not fight against it. If the properties of Carbon were not like they are now, that does not mean life will not form. It may mean that life could be nothing like we see today nor even Carbon based.
