Based on evidence, your evolution is much more of a religious belief than ID. Talk about blind faith. There's no evidence of species migrating into another species and yet you hold it as "scientific". Darwinism is a hoax.

Actually there is such evidence, an overwhelming amount. Scientists all over the world can see it. Believers in a particular version of fundamentalist Christianity won't accept it though for purely religious reasons.

By the way, "Darwinism" is a derogatory term cooked up by creationists to include any science they don't agree with. It has no meaning in the sciences. I did six years of grad school, with half of it spent studying fossil man, evolution, osteology, human races, anatomy and the like and I don't think I ever once heard that term used. Here on FR it's used daily, much like the N..... word was used in the past -- and for much the same reasons.

ID on the other hand is a solid explanation for the origins of life, based on overwhelming evidence.

ID is a religious belief concerning the origins of life, wrapped up in a little scientific terminology in the hopes that it might fool a school board or state legislature somewhere. The modern iteration of ID came into being shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court excluded creation "science" from the schools in Edwards v. Aguilard. It first showed up in Of Pandas and Peoples along with that classic "cdesign proponentsists" word processing error. It has never come up with any of the necessary steps to be taken seriously as science, and is promoted largely by the Discovery Institute and their staff of lawyers and PR flacks.

And by the way, the theory of evolution does not include origins!

I can take to the water, Coyoteman, but I can't make you drink.

The water's fine; wine is even better. Just stay away from the Kool-Aid.

Hmmm, that's curious since your Bible is titled The Origin of the Species, and your fellow disciples use it to try to explain how life began.
