Part of the reason for such little reponse is perhaps my question was not succinct; so I shall try to summarize it once more

1. In 25 words or less, what's the difference between "Creationism" and "Intelligent Design"--Father?

2. Creationism evidently entails intermittent readjustment of things by the Creator so as to promote evolution. Assuming the progress of the Universe indeed to be intelligent,

a. Could Intelligent Design not take place in the first instant of Creation, adjusting the rules of physics so as to make subsequent progress fully automatic (until the next Big Bang), and

b. If so, isn't it eminently reasonable, almost obvious, that She would perform her Grand Experiment repeatedly
