that evolution does not explain [pick one] phenomenon, that a better explanation is that it was designed by some intelligent agent

Fair enough, Alamo-Girl. I overstated.

I still have a problem with ID in that they assert, positively, that natural selection does not (fully) explain evolution. We don't know that. Either way.

However, ID should not be on the same level as natural selection because we do know, positively, that natural selection is at least a contributing process. We have observed that on short timescales directly. We do not know whether ID ( or Aliens, etc.) is a contributing factor.

Thank you for your reply!

Indeed, it ought to be stated fully, evenly - fair and balanced.
