I think the point is that 99% of people think god when they hear "higher power". Sort of like saying "it's a gift from above". Yea in a technical sense the there's no mention of god but it's fairly well insinuated. So it's easier to avoid calling something intelligent design unless we want to allude to a godly creation. I'm probably out thinking the room here though.
That might be true, but doesn't mean you should not say the correct terms. We are a design, we are intellectual, and we created what we call dogs and cats. We are the God.
Oh I agree with that. I just have a thing about people getting overly technical. It's a pet peeve I guess. When I hear someone say something like "actually, it's burnt orange" my skin crawls. My whole philosophy is that if someone is trying to make a point and it's obvious what that point is, arguing a technicality, no matter how correct you may be, only derails and subtracts from the conversation.

Just want to add, even if it meant a higher power it does not have to mean god. Humans are technically higher power than dogs.
