Intelligent Design and Creationism

The most common argument against intelligent design is that it is just the Biblical account of the creation in disguise. Having read Michael Behe's book Darwin's Black Box, I am surprised at the claim. The point of intelligent design, as I read it, is not that God created life. The point is that it is highly unlikely, if not impossible, that life evolved unaided from inorganic materials.

If any group wishes to characterize the intelligent design folks as Biblical creationists pretending to engage in science, then that group really ought to provide some evidence that the motives of the intelligent designers are different from what they have stated them to be.
