And most of those people who support ID, at least as science, are not scientists. ID is a substitution for creationsim, yough earth or old. ID may be a philosophy that is reasonable, but it is not science. The term micro-evolution, a term I first heard from creationists and capitulated that evolutionary changes do occur, is merely a subset of macro-evolution. If you belive in micro-evoultion, then you must believe in macro-evolution. One is contingent upon the other. Any yes, speices have evolved into different species. It has been demonstrated genetically. You should start reading the scientific literature and not the ID websites, whose content is full of lies and misconceptions.

First off: I don't believe I've ever read any "ID website". I have read the "scientific literature", including primary source material, on many subjects.

Second: I oppose people who make statements such as "If you believe Darwin, you're no Christian"

Third: I know MANY SCIENTISTS who support ID in one form or another, believing that Darwinian theory is simply not adequate to explain the way life apparently arose on Earth.

Fourth: stating that "micro-evolution is merely a subset of macro-evolution" says nothing about the veracity of Intelligent Design theory and subsets of ID.
