I would seem that he now wants to pretend that isn't a thing.
Well I disagree with that definition. So does the definition #2 that theEmpress gave.
Quote:2.
purpose, planning, or intention that exists or is thought to exist behind an action, fact, or material object.
"the appearance of design in the universe"
synonyms: intention, aim, purpose, plan, intent, objective, object, goal, end, target; More

The definition #2 that she gave most certainly does not. Do causes not backed with intelligence act with purpose, planning, or intent? I think not.
If you're going to claim that design doesn't require intelligence, I can't help you. I can also not help noting that since your design agent is the Christian god - as you admitted yourself - that you're not actually arguing for an unintelligent designer.
