What they absolutely oppose is natural selection. The alternative is some sort of mechanism that "knows" what kind of change is needed for changing conditions and productes the targeted change.

Their problem is that selection (whether natural or not) doesn't directly create new genetic material. Selection changes the distribution of genetic material. The IDites seem to get mutation and selection confused. The Creationist sub-kind seem to think that "species" or "genus" is some type of property all the members have.

Selection is one of my pet peeves. It should be so intuitive to conservatives and market economists.
