You could say that intelligent design is implied in the beliefs of many who take a theistic evolution view. But that's intelligent design with a lower-case i and a lower-case d.
This does not translate into support of Intelligent Design as foisted upon the public in the last two decades by the Discovery Institute and the Wedge Strategy. Their 'ID' is a label that refers not to an individual philosophical stance, but to a political action agenda in the USA--'Creationism's Trojan Horse,' in Barbara Forrest's apt phrase. The label began in 1987 as a euphemism for 'creation science,' which was ruled unconstitutional that year.
