Claiming that some "intellegence" created species at one time won't wash, because the fossil record refutes it.
Claiming that some "intellegence" created species over billions of years is irrational, because then that intellegence should still be here among us, and there is no evidence of this.
So what are you going to replace evolution with, once you've criticised it into oblivion?
The fossil record alone, even without corroboration from DNA evidence (where available) is a staggering refutation of ID. Why -- if the "designer" is so "intelligent" -- have over 90% of all species that once flourished gone extinct? Why, around 100 million years ago when modern sharks appeared (they are probably the oldest of modern species) did all species allegedly begin anew, after every extinct species died without leaving descendants? (They couldn't have left descendants, because if they did, then -- gasp! -- we'd have to conclude that present-day species descended from earlier forms!) And, beginning anew with no ancestors, why did modern species appear full-blown, without gradually increasing in complexity as did the extinct species in the fossil record? Why do present-day species, if they are not descended from earlier forms, seem to be related in form and structure to now-extinct forms?
