Darwin's theory predicted species (now extinct) between man and ape, the so called missing link. Over 10 different species of that nature have now been discovered.

Intelligent Design predicts how many of those? How many species are allowed to go extinct by intelligent design? If a species goes extinct, does that mean that the intelligent design was really not all that intelligent?

FWIW, those fossils could all fit in my desk drawer.
ID predicts consciousness does not come from mindlessness.

As I understand ID, all of them actually.

Creationism on the other hand allows all to go extinct except for man

If intelligent design is true, and God really did create all of the species, shouldn't conservatives act to preserve every last one of them? I mean, every insignificant corpse-maggot or jungle-spider was put here on Earth BY GOD, LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, as an act of divine love & design & whatnot.

Me, I'm comfortable with a little extinction here and there.

Anything can go extinct according to intelligent design, because it is about design, not death by accident or intent.
