...the notion of randomness needs to be abandoned.

I would think it would be quite a coup for ID to demonstrate a correlation between mutation and adaptive success in the absense of selection.

I understand that correlation doesn't prove causation, but I'm at a loss to see how causation could be asserted in the absense of correlation.

Thank you for your reply!

I'm not sure why ID would be interested in making such a demonstration since it does not dispute either natural selection or mutation.
