Does the evidence point at one or several creators?

No. I can only make the points, I can't think for you.

Kenny, my friend ... if you can't explain it, just quote and cite someone who can, preferably someone who you think is "in the know" about it. That way, we can actually grasp what it is you think we should "obviously" know, and we can then make further evaluation as to the veracity of what you perceive to be true about science and indicators of intelligent design.

I often hear creationist claim commonality or similarities among the living is evidence for a single common (intelligent) designer/creator. However, I have a small problem to understand exactly how ID's scientific line of evidence works here.

You are equivocating Intelligent Design with biblical Creationism, ID has never denied evolution, they just infer design in creation.

I think I was clear enough with my stance, I guess you'll just have to deal with it..

No, not assumed at all, and it has an awful lot to do with looking at the evidence. How we look at the evidence has more to do with it than anything else.

Yes, I agree with you here ... if this is your stance. I also agree with you if you support the assertion that the depository of relevant ideas by which we identify the ONE God (i.e. the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Father of the the Son, Jesus the Messiah) is something we find exclusively in the Bible and nowhere else.

If this is your stance, I'm with you bro'!

Would you say that I understand your stance?

however, my general question is: considering the difference that indicate more than one creator - what is it with similarities between living beings that justify one to conclude a single common creator?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that the answer to that question will be "well,... there is only 1 bible and it mentions only 1 god.. so......there!"
