The very concept of Intelligent Design has, at its fundamental core, the notion of an Greater Being as the architect.

Tell me how that is not theological.

The line between Philosophy and Theology does not lie in whether a Greater Being is recognized, but on the nature of that recognition. Philosophy relies on reason to postulate of reject the notion of an Greater Being as the architect. That was the approach of Aristotle's acceptance of the "Unmoved Mover". Theology begins with a revelatory experience of that being and uses reason to understand the meaning of that experience as much as possible. That is the approach of the Judeo-Christian bible.
