Scientific support for 'intelligent design' disputed

So the author's managed to fish out a few fringe scientists who are ID proponents - just how he could probably find a couple of "scientists" who believe in a flat Earth.

There is still virtually no debate within the mainstream scientific community over whether evolution exists or not.

There is still virtually no debate within the mainstream scientific community over whether evolution exists or not.

And none either within 99% of people involved with the serious study of Intelligent Design. But stretching Darwinian evolution to cover abiogenesis is far from settled science, and in fact is probably flat out wrong. The early, and critical phases of abiogenesis are really about chemistry and the probability of certain reactions occurring - namely those that make complex, replicating biologically interesting molecules. There's no evolution at that stage, just chemistry.
