I've been lurking on these 'creo v. evo' threads for a long time (and posted a few times, altho rarely). I enjoy much of the discussion, but one thing has begun to trouble me.

As you pointed out above, the 'Creationists' or 'Intelligent Design' folks seem to agree with 'micro-evolution'. There is no actual dissent about evolution. Both sides agree it happens around us every day.

The ID/Creo disagreement is not with 'evos', it's with geologists.

The only disagreement ya'll have is the age of the Earth, and the fact that if the Earth is not 4+ billion years old then there wasn't enough time for evolution to account for the level of diversity.

Which makes a lot of what get's said here by Creos and ID folks trashing 'evolution' very odd. Since ya'll seem to believe it happens, and only disagree about time-frame.

What am I missing?

The first thing you're missing is equating Creationists and ID Theorists.
