TONY: The idea of humans may not have been completely formed in the beginning, but when the time was right, the idea was developed into a reality, complete with start up bugs.

DAVID: Your God is not as purposeful as mine.

By which you presumably mean that Tony’s God was not limited from the start to the single purpose of specially designing H. sapiens!

dhw: As I keep saying, they [ID-ers] support your theory that life had to be designed, an argument which I have never disputed. There is no support whatsoever for your theory Please stop separating the different strands of your theory when you know it is the combination which I object to and for which you can find no support from the scientific, philosophical or religious community.

DAVID: Since you don't read ID material, you really can't comment on the full support I find, and from which I created my thoughts.

dhw: You keep telling us that ID-ers support your theory, and that is why I keep asking you which ID-ers propose “that your God’s one and only purpose was to create H. sapiens, that he preprogrammed or dabbled every other life form etc., and that he did so in order that they could eat or not eat one another until he designed the only thing he wanted to design.” But all you keep coming up with is that, unsurprisingly, they support your theory of Intelligent Design, i.e. life is too complex to have come about by chance. And you tell us they don't even mention your God!

You obviously don't know much about ID. They play a game just as you note. They try to prove there is need for a designer, but never mention the designer as God. Part of their rules in trying to purposely keep religion out of their material.
