No it's not. The essence of ID is that an 'Intelligent Designer' (=God) best explains the diversity of life, not evolution. ID opposes the evolution.

Sorry, you are simply wrong. ID does not exclude evolution and ID does not require God unless you think Monsanto is God.

ID does not exclude evolution and ID does not require God

In my experience, ID has been always been presented as an 'alternative' to evolution.

If ID's 'Intelligent Designer' is not God (or a prime mover or equivalent), who/what is it?

unless you think Monsanto is God.

Are you saying that ID's 'Intelligent Designer' is man?
