Showing a monkey turning into a man would prove ID wrong, I would rather think....:) But, of course you can't show that, can you?

Why would showing a monkey turning into a man disprove ID? What in that would rule out intelligent design? In fact, if such a thing were discovered it would have rather serious ramifications on the currently accepted theories in biology (likely including evolution) -- we'd probably have to throw out quite a bit of what we have now...but I don't see how it would at all affect the notion that an intelligent designer was responsible for the creation of the universe (or even just the creation of life on this planet)

Because the position of Intelligent Design states that complex systems cannot arise at random without a designer. Since mutations are random and supposedly the basis of evolutionary descent, showing the above would indeed constitute a refutation of ID. However, while evolutionists have been seeking an example of such macro-evolution for some 150 years, they are unable to do so. The reason for it is that evolution is false and there are living proofs that it is: the platypus and euglena.
