I am not sure what intelligent design has to do with creation stories.
Intelligent design has been adopted by the Catholic Church to help resolve the theory of evolution and their dogma. I think that the church realized that they had a lot of educated people on their hands who would not believe the biblical creation myth and so they had to change their dogma to fit with modern reality else they loose lots of members and money.
It looks like the phrase is credited with a text book printed around 1989 "Of Pandas and People". I am a product of a catholic education, while i cannot remember if my teachers used the term "Intelligent Design"
I am certain that we were taught the theory of evolution (as gods plan of course) in grade school, 4th - 5th grade. I know the term was used in high school biology/science class 9th-10th grade.
