Id says the mind of the designer must be similar to the human mind.
​
Our experience of how human minds work provides an indication of how a primeval intellect might have worked.
(Of Pandas and People, 1993, pp. 32-33)
​
This is clearly building god in your own image.
​
Our experience of how human minds work provides an analogy to how a primeval, creator mind probably worked.
(p. 8 of: Pearcey, Nancy (1989). “Of Fins and Fingers: Patterns in Living Things.” Bible-Science Newsletter, 27(5), pp. 6-9. May 1989.)
​
By limiting the designer to means that humans can understand this is saying that the designer is just a human with a better skill-set.
​
If the designer can be proved to exist by anything in the natural world, the designer collapses into the natural world and god can be put under a microscope.

Do you want this in the Intelligent Design forum? Or is this a theological issue?

How about Faith and Belief it seems to me that ID challenges faith more than evolution.
​
Thanks for the swift response.
