“ID is not in opposition to evolution.”

I didn’t say ID was in opposition to evolution.
I said that if you oppose ID because it cannot “be confirmed or contradicted by evidence,” then you must oppose the theory of evolution, which to date cannot be confirmed or contradicted by evidence.

“The problem with ID is it promiscuous. It sleeps with fundamentalists and Darwinists on the same night. It is not discriminating and has no way of being discriminating.”

To say that the content of a complex idea overlaps the conten of two other complex and generally opposite ideas fails to offer any relevant criticism as to whether the first idea is valid, tenable or otherwise appropriate for human study.

So If you have no actual ideas you compensate by writing longer sentences?

The fossil record and cross-species DNA support evolution (though they do not prove evolution, as nothing in science is ever "proven"). Contradictory fossil finds, such as a Precambrian rabbit fossil, or contradictory DNA finds, such as a transposon found in whales and cows but not hippos, would falsify the theory of evolution.
