If it quacks like a duck...

Mr. Thompson said his side would prove that intelligent design was not creationism because it did not mention God or the Bible and never posited the creator's identity.

That quote is from a New York Times story on the lawsuit of intelligent design in Dover, PA.

So, if the identity of the "creator" is really up in the air for I.D. theorists, then they would have no problem beliving it was, as any X-Files fan can tell you, aliens who seeded Earth with life.

Extra-terrestrials designed all the life on Earth.

Somehow I don't think any of the "Intelligent" design folks would buy that. They know exactly who the Creator is supposed to be. Big man, white beard, surrounded by angels. Got it?
