"Just so we are completely clear here: ID, as applied to evolution, specifically admits common descent, right? So you are willing to accept that humans are descended from other primates?"

If the facts were to show such, then fine, but the probability math for successfully modifying simian DNA into a sapien genome would cast a bit of doubt on that sort of claim.

Nobody said anything about probability. What does probability have to do with common descent? (Other than provide yet more evidence that you have but a weak grasp on the concept).

As I understand it, ID simply claims that the genetic modifications necessary to create a human from another primate were performed by an intelligent actor. That way, ID can avoid the most opbvious problems with young-Earth creationism.

Is that your theory? Or are you just a dishonest creationist trying to pretend you are scientific?

Please put your money where your mouth is: do you accept common descent, or not?
