==I think the only IDers with a real opposition to Evolution these days are the Creationists.

Creationists are not opposed to change over time within the limits of the biblical “kinds”. What they are opposed to is the notion that one kind can turn into another kind via macro evolution. And the fossil evidence suggest that they are probably right...even top evolutionists in good standing admit that the fossil evidence contradicts Darwinist predictions (and yet still cling to the notion that they will one day find the myriad of transitional species that they all admit are conspicuously absent from the fossil record). Instead, species appear abruptly in the fossil record (”as if from nowhere”), remain largely unchanged during their tenure on earth, and then mysteriously vanish as if wiped out by some sort of catastrophe. So, in so far as the fossil record is concerned, Creationist predictions blow Church of Darwin predictions out of the water.

Sorry, that happens not to be the case.

See this: 29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent.

Note, even prominent IDers accept an old earth and common descent. That argument is over.
