...the difference between an animal developing a new characteristic and become an entirely new animal?
But to be a real scientific theory, ID would have to propose a mechanism that stops mutations from eventually making the differences in two subpopulations so diverse they can't interbreed. If we all agree that in a short time small changes can occur, then we must agree that in a long time, big changes can occur unless something stops them. We need to know what that something is and how it works.

Let me know when you do. I'm all for looking into things.
