This should be interesting, since ID is the most anti-God, anti-religious idea ever put forth. Anyone who has read these threads for long knows that ID is entirely incompatible with scripture.

Really? I can quote; Dawkins, Pinker, and many others if you like… BTW, you state ID is incompatible with scripture and is anti-God as an authority on both (I see ID as neutral on both subjects)… Please tell us ‘your’ religion so we can know how you have acquired this knowledge.

All the majot ID advocates accept common descent as a fact, and a multi-billion year old earth as a fact. Here's a quote from Denton's latest book.

"It is important to emphasize at the outset that the argument presented here is entirely consistent with the basic naturalistic assumption of modern science - that the cosmos is a seamless unity which can be comprehended ultimately in its entirety by human reason and in which all phenomena, including life and evolution and the origin of man, are ultimately explicable in terms of natural processes. This is an assumption which is entirely opposed to that of the so-called "special creationist school". According to special creationism, living organisms are not natural forms, whose origin and design were built into the laws of nature from the beginning, but rather contingent forms analogous in essence to human artifacts, the result of a series of supernatural acts, involving the suspension of natural law. Contrary to the creationist position, the whole argument presented here is critically dependent on the presumption of the unbroken continuity of the organic world - that is, on the reality of organic evolution and on the presumption that all living organisms on earth are natural forms in the profoundest sense of the word, no less natural than salt crystals, atoms, waterfalls, or galaxies."
