"Signs of Intelligence" by Stephen C. Meyer, Dallas Morning News
Is Intelligent Design Creationsim in Disguise? - Expert Opinion
“Most ID proponents aren’t Fundamentalists and a few are non-Christians or nonreligious.”
“‘Intelligent design’ debate likely to get more intense” Richard N. Ostling, AP, The HeraldNet, Saturday, Jan. 14, 2006.
“University of Wisconsin science historian Ronald L. Numbers,” [premier authority on creationism,] “critic of ID, and author of “The Creationists,” thinks it’s inaccurate to lump ID and creationism together, commenting that this is “the easiest way to discredit intelligent design.”

"Two recent academic treatments indicate things are more complex than Jones acknowledged:
- Columbia University law school’s Kent Greenwalt (“Does God Belong in Public Schools?” from Princeton University Press) distinguishes between modern-day creationism and the “more plausible” ID approach. He thinks classroom presentations of ID and alleged problems with Darwinism are fair, but they cross the line if ID is presented as the only alternative explanation.”
- Florida State University philosopher Michael Ruse (“The
Evolution-Creation Struggle,” Harvard University Press) calls himself “an
ardent Darwinian.” [He is the philosopher of science who served
as the expert witness in McLean v. Arkansas, giving the court the demarcation
criteria adopted in its opinion and later in the Edwards v. Arkansas
case, for distinguishing between true science and non-science and/or
pseudoscience.] “Ruse says it’s a mistake to categorize ID
as creationism, partly because ID leaders accept forms of evolution.
This isn’t a dispute about scientific theory, he writes, but a
religious battle.”
