Literalism can be debilitating, as your comment aptly demonstrates. My point is that many purveyors of so-called Biblical literalism do not address the Biblical vacuum regarding the "how" of creation, preferring to skip over the dilemma by simplistically explaining away creation as a kind of galactic parlor-trick performed by "God the Magician", as if God were wielding a magic wand and sprinkling fairy dust, and, perhaps unwittingly (although I doubt it at times), conveying precisely that image.

Indeed, this very same comic-book approach to biological development, diversification, and speciation is embedded in the "this-is-too-complicated-to-be-explained" core of ID.

It isn't that it is too complicated to explain, just that's it's too complicated to have just happened by random chance. Big difference.
