The actions of the Dover school board during the Dover trial was not condoned or supported by the Discovery Institute.

Yeah, because the DiscoTute bailed when they saw they were going to lose big time.

"Creationism" is typically understood to mean young-earth creationism unless you add a qualifier (e.g. "progressive creationist").

And ID is very careful to try to pretend that they have nothing to do with Creationism, young-Earth or old-Earth, because they are trying to pretend that they aren't a religious viewpoint. However, certain smoking guns (cdesign proponentsists) give it away.

Even at that, creationism generally refers to an attempt to read scientific data through the lens of a particular interpretation of Scripture.

As opposed to ID, which tries to read scientific data through the lens of a non-specified "Designer" who happens to share all attributed with the Christian Deity.

This is not my approach.

Love to hear your approach, and how it differs from the plainly religious approach of the DiscoTute.
