You obviously aren't following the discussion. The ID advocates pushing the school boards for inclusion of ID are not disagreeing with the fact of evolution or common descent.

Not in the article.

Behe, Dembski and Denton all agree that evolution is a fact. They are disagreeing about the mechanism. Even in their scheme, natural selection is a major and undeniable component. There really aren't any well known scientists who doubt common descent.

Since you apparently own the definition of scientist, you must be right. For my edification, what is the definition of "well known scientist".

I could make the same argument that most well known branches of science were founded by creationists.

Have you ever wondered why Darwin's grandfather imagined, and Charlie wrote about that pesky "theory" anyway?

The idea of evolution was centuries old when Charles Darwin wrote about it. It was obvious from the geologic record.

What Darwin noticed was the relationship between variation, overproduction of offspring, and selection.
