[MD] Dawkins a Materialist (is watching?)

I think we're mixing up "the argument from intelligent design" with 
the drivel of IDC "creationists"

[Arlo]
According to Wikipedia, "Intelligent design (ID) is an argument that 
"certain features of the universe and of living things are best 
explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as 
natural selection." ... "In a leaked memo, commonly known as The 
Wedge Document, however, the supporters of the movement were told, 
"We are building on this momentum, broadening the wedge with a 
positive scientific alternative to materialistic scientific theories, 
which has come to be called the theory of intelligent design. Design 
theory promises to reverse the stifling dominance of the materialist 
worldview, and to replace it with a science consonant with Christian 
and theistic convictions."

"Intelligent design", at its core, implies an "intelligent designER". No?

[Ian]
The argument is that, evolved, emerged design IS intelligent. The 
intelligent design IS the process of emergence, with no master plan 
or master intellect required or implied.

I'm not sure I understand this. Can you expand a bit?
