I have long thought that the problem with ID theory is its notion of God as some everlasting Edison puttering about in His celestial laboratory.
I can't help thinking that this is a passage from Aquinas that has somehow eluded our evangelical Darwinists:
Nature is nothing but the plan of some art, namely a divine one, put into things themselves, by which those things move towards a concrete end: as if the man who builds up a ship could give to the pieces of wood that they could move by themselves to produce the form of the ship. (Commentary on Physics II.8, lecture 14, no. 268; h/t Mariano Artigas)
