The controversy, to the extent there is one, is so esoteric that no one supporting ID on FR has ever managed to explain what difference it would make to biological research.
Alamo: you recently suggested to me that you believe in something like Lamarkian evolution. Any bias towards non-random mutation would be easily observable in controlled experiments. I'm curious why ID proponents haven't suggested such experiments, or if they have, none have been described on these threads.
