there is a way that the car analogy shows the failure of ID as a science question.
I don't need to know who designed the car, or even who put it together and shipped it and sold it
in order to investigate
how it works.
and if I did know who all those people were, it wouldn't help me one whit in the investigation of
how it works.
the relative knowledge of the "who did it" question has absolutly no bearing on the question of determining the "how it works" question.
now if you want to have a philosophical debate on whether your car is better designed than mine, the question of "who" is valid (it may or may not be the same designer).
to me the question of ID comes after the science ... once you have determined how the universe works in all it's wonderous and varied means and manners then you can gaze into the abyss and see what is gazing back (to paraphrase Neitzche)
ID, properly pursued, is to science as math is to physics: you need it, but you don't teach physics in math class.
