How to implement an intelligent biologic design?
In my opinion Intelligent Design is a fact not a theory.
How to you propose that the intelligent design is implemented? To design something is one thing, to actually get it built is a whole 'nother thing.
IMO, "intelligent design" is evolution with a bit of guidance added. Perhaps a better term would be "intelligent evolution" or "guided evolution".

Re: How to implement an intelligent biologic design?
Guidance requires a guide. "Intelligent evolution" requires intelligence sir, and intelligence requires thought!
Are you accepting that the possible "intelligent design" is part of the evolution process?
Implementation of a design requires an intelligent builder and building process. I perhaps could design a very good organic eye, but I couldn't even begin to be able to build it.
Also, the eye (human or otherwise) does not come into existence as a finished product. It is part of a body that grows from a single cell origin.
Well, the above may well not be relevant to this topic, but it's something I wanted to get out. I'll probably not participate in this topic any further. After all, I'm a dubious quality geologist, not a biologist.
