I gather from this that the Pope believes in Intelligent Design...

Can't say that he does:

So, the Pope is saying God started the universe with a bang but has left it alone since? What is the difference between the concept of God creating the universe and the concept of Intelligent Design?

If the Pope believes that God did not intend to create Man by deliberate purposeful action, then all of Christianity collapses. That would be a strange thing for the Pope to say.
