jerry,
first off please give us your publication!
secondly...what in the world has theistic ID to do with SETI or especially forensics??? or was that an ironic comment?
ID as i understand it (correct me if i am wrong) states that GOD directed evolution. and that believe is indeed intrinsically unscientific.
PS: the believe in a personal god is naive and represents solely the psychological need to be saved or protected by some.
PPS: just as a sidenote...pubmed has not a single entry for intelligent design.
