Note On Intelligent Design

After my post the other day on Intelligent Design and other Oxymorons, someone actually asked me why I believed ID to be idolatrous polytheism. To sum up the court case in Kansas: (I put logical operators in capitals.) IT IS NECESSARY that an intelligent designer exists to make sense of the world as we know it. IT IS POSSIBLE that the intelligent designer is not God. from this I deduce...and anyone deduces who follows the logic of the matter, IT IS POSSIBLE that the intelligent designer is an entity other than God. hence, IT IS POSSIBLE that there exists God and an Intelligent Designer. The Intelligent Designer has God-like properties, inasmuch as the inputs of the Intelligent Designer are NECESSARY for God's creation of things in the world. THEREFORE, we have TWO entities with God-like properties: God and Intelligent Designer. THEREFORE, IT IS POSSIBLE we have 2 Gods, or at least a God and a God-like entity. The definition of Polytheism: at least 2 gods, usually more. A God and a Demi-god, both existing from all eternity...and the Intelligent Designer has to exist from all eternity, else who would have designed the Intelligent Designer?...comes so close to polytheism that hell rejoices. I added "idolatrous" for good measure.
