Intelligent design is not creationism

Claim

Intelligent design (ID) is quite different from creationism, because

"intelligent design creationism" is a pejorative term, not a term used by members of the ID movement.
creationists and fair-minded critics recognize a difference between ID and creationism.
ID is scientific.
ID's religious implications are distinct from its science program.

West, John G. Jr., 2002. Intelligent Design and Creationism Just Aren't the Same. [1]

This claim is disingenuous as ID clearly grew out of creationism as a result of creationists' failures in the court system to include religious doctrine in public schools. Although God is not specifically mentioned in ID, the implication is obvious. Furthermore, the primary founder of the ID movement, Phillip Johnson, has explicitly stated that his objective is to create a Christian America (exact quote to be provided).
IDists insist that science's failure to accomodate the supernatural is somehow a crippling limitation on science. Why would they do this, if not because ID is, in fact, Creationism with the serial numbers filed off and a fresh coat of paint, and IDists want science to support their religious beliefs?
ID is not scientific, as it does not follow the scientific method. Its efforts are in casting reasonable doubt in the eyes of the public regarding the evidence for evolution. Little, if any, original research has ever been presented.
Intelligent Design exactly matches William Paley's teleological argument, right down to plagiarizing his watchmaker analogy. Replacing the word "God" with the word "designer" doesn't transmute creationism into science. The teleological argument is not invalid because it invokes God. It is invalid because the logic itself is flawed.
