I've been playing on thesee threads for several years, and I know from observation that there are only two issues that concern most freepers -- common descent and the age of the earth.
The really odd thing is that the star witness for the defense agrees with mainstream science on both of these issues.
I have been asking for a couple months now and have not been able to get a single freeper ID advocate to agree with Behe on these two points.
What do you mean by 'common descent'? As for the age of the Earth; I personally don't give much weight to any extreme as to the age of the Earth.
Based on the explanation found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_descent
I would not have a real problem with 'common descent'. Universal common descent would be an entirely different matter. I suspect Behe means common descent rather than universal common descent. Universal common descent would hardly be any different than Darwinian evolution in its most extreme form.

Depending on your definition of common descent, I could very well be one.
