ID Hindu? ID Sikh?
It would be interesting to see how they feel about the Muslim equivalent of their position, the one held by Adnan Oktar.
Or if every other religious denomination (plus pantheists, deists and those who invoke alien intervention) adopted ID theory, I suspect the original ID movement would have to re-define itself as ID Christian, while another would define itself as ID Hindu, another ID Sikh etc... then the whole of science and theology would be at war. Holy crap.

Re: non-omniscient designer?
who says the designer was or would even want to be omniscient?
In a word: Christians.
Maybe they are wrong.
The designer allowed (self implemented or otherwise) an environmental change for which the old design was now longer as good?
I refer back to the previous point: surely an omniscient designer would know in advance that this change would be implemented.
Even if the designer were omniscient, maybe he changed his plan (see message 10).
The designer could easily step in an tweak the process without leaving any trace.
I don't think that kind of rationalisation has ever helped humanity to understand the fabric of the universe.
I would never propose that it would. I'm not one who's out there trying to find designer fingerprints.
(dinosaurs created for...) many millions of years worth of observation and entertainment?
Whose entertainment? Ours?
Well, it all did lead up to the creation of a series of Jurassic Park movies. Are you one to doubt the genius of the great movie producer in the sky?
