Why stop with Intelligent Design (the theory that life on earth has developed by a series of supernatural miracles performed by the God of the Christian Bible, for which it is pointless to seek any naturalistic explanation)?

This is a strawman definition of ID. Probably most, but certainly not all, of the proponents of ID fit into this definition. This largely invalidates his otherwise excellent arguments against ID, as they do not address what ID proponents actually say, but rather his slanted viewpoint of what they say.

Nor does he state what evolutionists believe. Hows is Macro-evolution science? It is historical science at best, explaining the past based on what one sees, and HOW one interprets it. When I see fossils, I think "Must have been a very quick event to cover and preserve that many animals that quickly". Fossils are evidence of quick burial, hence my interpretation as evidence of a global flood.
