"Now, back to Occam ~ the argument was made that Occam's Razor demands that ID be rejected because, obviously, it's simply an extraneous, added component to an otherwise simpler system."

And this is correct.

"All that's needed to knock down that argument is to find a single Intelligent Designer who has managed to create only one marginally different lifeform.

ADM qualifies as the Intelligent Designer."

No, what is needed is any evidence for a designer that created the universe and created the life we see on earth and guided its evolution. ADM doesn't qualify. That this needs to be said is amazing.

"So, cranking that into your dichotomy forces us to believe that ID is correct, or that Occam is wrong."

No, it just means you are using a fallacious argument.

No, just one ID somewhere doing one thing does the trick in knocking down your use of Occam.

He doesn't have to create the Universe ~ just one new lifeform is sufficient, and it doesn't even have to be all that different ~
