From Henry Neufeld:
Just tell the truth.
That's very good advice. He goes on to say:
I have been astounded at the number of ID advocates who have told me here on this blog, in e-mail, or in person that I am horribly misunderstanding their position because I think ID has to do with religion. But there is simply no possibility that ID, without any religious overtones, has any audience at all. If the whole argument is about the possibility that some form of alien life is interfering with earth life, perhaps a roomful of weirdos would be interested. The fact is that "intelligent designer" is heard (correctly) as a codeword for God, and that is what gives this traction.
Be sure to check out the rest of Henry's post. It's a good one.
