→Theistic evolution and Intelligent Design: not all ID proponents assert that their designer is divine, and certainly the designer they attempt to prove need not be the Christian God.
Although superficially similar to [[Intelligent Design]], Intelligent Design proponents have made clear that they are not the same thing, and in fact [[William Dembski]] has gone so far as to say that "As far as design theorists are concerned, theistic evolution is American evangelicalism's ill-conceived accommodation to Darwinism."<ref>''What every theologian should know about creation, evolution, and design'' Center for Interdisciplinary Studies Transactions 3(2), William Demsbki</ref>

The primary difference is the percieved role of proof. While most theistic evolutionists are content to accept God on faith alone, Intelligent Design seeks to prove the necessary existence of God in the creation of life by scientific means.
