The staff at PhysOrg.com who wrote this article apparently have never felt the need to read even one chapter of Genesis, the source material on which they opine. If that were not enough to discredit them as reliable sources of information, if they did read it they demonstrate very little reading comprehension. According to Genesis God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days, not 7.
Their hackneyed assertions that ID is simply a variant of Biblical Creationism, and one "which acknowledges evolution but claims that genetic mutations are guided by God's hand rather than by Charles Darwin's process of natural selection" is nothing but a straw man - a ridiculous caricature designed to be easily knocked down. The fundamental error is the critics' erroneous conflation of ID with theology. This all-too-typical misrepresentation may be useful to such critics but it is still a misrepresentation, which tends to further discredit the authors as reliable sources of information.
Cordially,
The fundamental error is the critics' erroneous conflation of ID with theology.
You might want to check with the people actually pushing ID - when they think nobody's listening, they admit that it's about religion.
Read the Discovery Institute's "Wedge Document". You'll learn that it is about theology, no matter what they sometimes claim.
Where is the error?
