A respondent on the WordWizard board found this post to be off-topic, that is, not about words nor word origins. Not a bad observation.

Steve, Anna; you are absolutely right as is Woz on WW. But if you will return to the thread you will see how I have shifted its emphasis

Helen: It's about two possible meanings for the expr "intelligent design"
I'll have to admit I threw in a little philosophy but it wouldn't be the first instance of such on WW, WS, WO, or PF
On some of these sites (not WS) they'll rake you over the coals, delete your thread, or even ban you if you deviate even slightly from a rigid protocol
A yeard afterward they still won't reinstate you, even if you apologize profusely
While the Establishment paroles murderers

Thanks to all but forgive me for bubbling this one back up, I promise not to make it a habit. Here's the URL to save you the effort of scrolling back up to the top http://www.wordwizard.com/ch_forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18766Part 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 I am dalehileman@verizon.net

In the beginning was the Word...
and the Word became A.Word.A.Day and then AWADtalk.
And then Anu rested and saw that his work was good.

Alex, I don't blame you. In another such site you might be vilified in a wave of hypersensitive Political Correctness
