John Paul, while I am new to this board I am not to the debate. I have one question for you before entering this fray. Do you think that a key biological/biochemical component of the ID concept is Irreducible complexity as espoused by Dr. M. Behe of LeHigh University?

You are missing my point also. ID doesn't care about the designer, only the design- how to detect it, how to understand it and what to do with it.
Perhaps if you did a little research such a concept wouldn't be so foreign to you.

Actually John Paul, the main group of ID, namely the Discovery Institute, cares very much who the "designer" is and that it eventually be identified as the christian version of God. This has been well outlined in the Wedge concept promoted by a key founder of the movement,P. Johnson, and was at one point clearly defined in the Discovery Institute website. The file outlining the wedge strategy and the ultimate designer has recently been deleted from the site.
