Once again “intelligent design” is not the same thing as “Intelligent Design” and the specific (and idiotic) claims of the “Cdesign proponentists” who advance it. That's just splitting hairs.
The universe as we see it is what it is. If it's *incompetent design* if some space alien or any other highly evolved disembodied extra-terrestrial created it, then it's *incompetent design* if God is the creator.

It is in no way.
The yahoos at the Discovery Institute have ‘co-opted’ the phrase, and “Intelligent Design” is a specific belief that is absolutely NOT shared by those of us who believe in an omniscient creator.
I can see why you wish to lump the two, but it is not reality.
