That would merely be intelligent design all over again.

Not that intelligent, unfortunately. Intelligent design would allow for the evolution of viable species. I realize that the "science" of Intelligent Design does not allow for evolution, but I see no reason why it shouldn't. The idea that a divine entity could design a plan that, once set in motion, could evolve into a universe of almost infinite complexity, only makes the concept of that Creator even more awesome.

So cars aren't intelligently designed because man didn't allow for their evolution.

That's news to me. I never heard that ID excluded evolution. Basically what ID states is that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."

It's about the cause not the process.
