(So when the Discovery Institute talks about an Intelligent Designer, it really does mean God?)
In the same manner as when the National Center for Selling Evolution (NCSE) talks about the theory of evolution they mean that God is a superstitious fantasy and living things are really all just purposeless bags of chemicals - assembled by cosmic accident.
I hope that clears things up for you.

Evolution is an established scientific theory, and all the evidence points toward it. It doesn't matter faith-based beliefs certain people may or may not hold, that evolution is or is not consistent with. It's science. On the other hand, Intelligent Design has been conclusively shown to be a blatant front for creationism. "Cdesign proponentsists", anyone?
Oh, and the fundies' habit of "wittily" recasting acronyms to suit their own delusions about supporters of science is really starting to irk me.
You got that wrong, buddy. It's the National Center for Intelligent Design, as that is a very American phenomenon.
Evolution is accepted as fact all around the world.
Religion and gods are neither needed nor impossible, regarding Evolution.
Evolution is not about how life got started, but how living things adapt to a changing environment.
No, things just got even more muddy after your "explanation".
When you're wrong about basic concepts and agendas all the time you can't pull off sarcasm, give it up.
Next time someone asks you a simple question don't be so evasive, just answer it. You ID idiots took this ID (other name for Christian God) to court in the Dover Case and lost bad, and that was your best, most practiced and recognized bullshitters.
All your best arguments failed to be anything but imagined claims, you might as well go back saying God instead of ID, everyone knows now. So much for another ill-concieved step of the Wedge Document.
“In the same manner as when the National Center for Selling Evolution (NCSE) talks about the theory of evolution they mean that God is a superstitious fantasy and living things are really all just purposeless bags of chemicals - assembled by cosmic accident.”
Nope. Science is neutral on the supernatural. Individuals may have a personal opinion, but the science says absolutely fuck-all about the gods. So when the institution talks about the theory, they’re talking abotu the science, you just insist on adding God as a connotation to the science.
You’re wrong.
And the entire POINT of ID is to slip God into the classroom… That’s why it wasdeveloped, to put a lab coat on creationism. It’s obvious from the way that creationist talking points are copied into ID textbooks.
Every time it gets taken to court, they insist that it’s SCIENCE IT’S SCIENCE IT’S SCIENCE! And every time it’s kicked to the curb, they cry that ’you’ve kicked GOD out of schools! AGAIN!’
Not at ALL like the actual proponents of the actual theory of evolution,

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
