Supporting ID only debunks evolution as an answer to "Life". And those that support ID give proof of evidence against evolution, and that's all, it doesn't support conclusively that the God of the Bible is the intelligence behind it.
To some scientist ID could of been done by any number of "persons". Even back before evolution there were belief systems that put forward that it was like Ra the Egyptian god, or Zeus, etc...
Even today in some circles in the scientific community (and believe it or not the RCC) it is thought through panspermia, the intelligence behind the design are aliens who seeded the earth.
The western world particularly, has become very comfortable with the idea (not scientific evidence, the same with evolution) that aliens do exist. Through UFO stories, Area 51, a bunch of scifi TV series, and Hollywood movies, and even with the science community in statements, "we aren't alone, the universe is to big for that." The stories, and even in animation for kids some aliens have been benevolent, and others malevolent, and that a war exists between them.
So comfortable that if an "Angel of Light" were to appear through either a spacecraft, or dimensional portal, etc.... They would be accepted for who they say they are, which would probably be, our savior.
I appreciate Phd's coming forward using evidence to disprove evolution, however since the beginning, and including evolution, and being careful with ID the aim has always been to lead the general public away from the God of The Bible.
And it may be that they are providing such compelling evidence in their anti-evolution that care must be taken for where they are leading us. Even now they come across as angels of light, by exposing the darkness.
Just saying.
