Why does "intelligent design" have to include a God-person involved in in it?
I agree that this discussion has taken a lot of twists and turns, but, like a drive on a winding mountain road vs a NASCAR oval, the mountain road is more interesting.
As to involving "a God person", the concept of intelligent design implies that someone/something planned and orchestrated the creation and operation of the universe. Just as we see/imagine faces or animals when we look at clouds, some people see God's work when they try to comprehend the world or the universe. To have intelligent design, you must, presumably, have an intelligence.
