I would pose this question to you. Scenario A: all the diversity of life formed via a process of unguided mutations followed by natural selection. Scenario B: all the diversity of life formed by a process of natural selection of mutations that are identical to those found in scenario A, but were caused by some guiding intelligence. What observable difference would there be between scenario A and scenario B? If there's no observable difference, then the question is not a scientific one. There is no way to test whether scenario A or B is the correct one. I would contend that there is no such test, and therefore that ID is not a scientific theory, at least the form of ID that does not deny that the primary mechanism leading to biodiversity is mutation and natural selection.

Thank you for your post and challenge, but I believe it is pretty much the same as PatrickHenry's to which I posted a response at 1984.

If you are looking for more, please let me know!
