Perhaps I can help. Intelligent design looks for signs of intelligent design of living beings. Signs that life is actually created.

So Intelligent Design really means looking for evidence that there is a God?

For example: DNA is an complex information system. The complexity of design is an indicator of intent.

So a complex system like snow flakes is an indicator of design?

How you cannot find any factual help here on FR: Evolutionists will smear any concept of intentional design with the Discovery Institute and Creationism. No independent thought will be allowed to impugn their religion.

So Recovering_Democrat is an Evolutionist?

“So Intelligent Design really means looking for evidence that there is a God?” No, it is looking for evidence of intent. Evos make that last leap in an effort to taint any evidence of design

“So a complex system like snow flakes is an indicator of design?” Possibly, but intelligent design is mainly looking at living organisms. You could expand the look for design in all of science. Why not? scientists have for centuries.

“So Recovering_Democrat is an Evolutionist?” Don't have a clue and that isn't the point. The point is to say that there is little tolerance on FR of the discussion of intelligent design. The Evos attack with strawmen attaching creationism and the Discovery Institute to everything. Evolution is very much a religion here.
