What you have pointed out in your post #890 is what is scarey....many of the posters who come to these threads, tell us that they are supporters of ID, but they dont seem to have the faintest notion of what ID is supposed to be...
They somehow think that ID supports the idea of a young earth, and that man was specially created about 6thousand years ago...do they even bother to educate themselves as to what ID actually states....seems to me, that ID is closer to TOE than it is to creationism...IDs main difference from evolution seems to be that it wants to claim to be able to say that some 'higher power', created everything intelligently....ID differs from creationism in many ways...Creationism claims a young earth, with each 'kind', being created independently...ID claims a very old earth, with common descent...
Why in the world do strict creationists try to claim that ID aligns with creationism, when in fact, nothing if further from the truth?
