Intelligent Design (What should be taught in schools?)

A quick google reveals that in Gnosticism the demi-urge is the creator of the material universe, and as the material universe is evil, the demi-urge is the embodiment of evil. (Unlike Plato's demi-urge, which is benevolent.) The capital D seems to come and go. I thought of numen (= any guiding force or influence), but that has too many religious associations as well.
