Craig - when I loooked at that I had the same thought. I can understand why ID is such a tempting / convenient explanation of things for some people.

However, sometime ago I got to think about the language of describing evolution and I concluded that it is better to think in terms of "what does this do" rather than "what is this for". This technique tends to keep the mind on the correct perspective. This is very subtle - but it works for me - its so easy with everyday speak to talk about what things are for - and that implies intention of design.
