This is a rather awkward conflation of poor semantics and deliberate misrepresentation of scientific research. The notion that scientists are acknowledging magical creation by virtue of having used the word "creation" in their dialog is an example of ID apologetics at it's shoddiest.

The central tenet of Intelligent Design is that in lieu of a scientific explanation, the answer must be "magic." If science has shown us anything over the millennia, it's that each and every claim of "magic" has invariably been shown to be the result of natural causes.
