But why do you say that? The so-called "ID movement" is officially on the record as saying that they are "agnostic" with regard to questions of First Cause. They just see intelligence in Nature. They want to explore it. As far as I know, no one in the ID school promotes God as First Cause. For they know that God is not and cannot be a scientific question.

Uh, they are on oath as saying that most probably the "ID" is dead since there has been no evidence of his interaction in the universe in the last few hundred million years.

What is the difference between the ID Intelligent Designer and God?

Uh, you continue to miss my point. ID is not looking for "proofs" of God. Rather it is looking at the natural world, and has noticed that it seems to be lawful in its conduct, ordered. That is, it shows all the hallmarks of intelligence in the coordinated disposition of its parts, which together constitute the whole of which they are parts, and at the same time cannot be understood as parts absent the idea of an intelligible whole.
