Dave,
Sorry for my delay in responding. I've been cleaning out old files and found
yours. Intelligent design, as used by Bill Dembski and others does not imply
non-natural implementation. ID is set over against _unintelligent design_.
It is mostly those who oppose ID who imply that it is implemented in a
non-natural manner.
Regards,
Bob
