You may want to look at the very core (according to them) of ID from the front page of their website: The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection. Ummm.... what do they mean "intelligent" vs "undirected"?? When a pack of wolves trick a heard to leave the weak or sick animal alone for a split second so the "hit man" DIRECTING the show can pounce is that not INTELLIGENCE at work? Is it not "direction" when leaders of heards direct the rest what to do and where to go? Don't the groups with best directors survive? Don't wolves teach (direct) their young how to hunt? More generally, when climate changes(or any other environmental changes) plants and animals evolve to fit in... the environment "induces" evolutionary change... is this an "undirected process"??? amazon.com Response: Oh.... NOT THAT KIND OF DIRECTION!!! THIS KIND: 5earch.com These guys clearly haven't read anything that has come out in the last 10 years nor understood what DID come out even earlier: actionbioscience.org The environment plays a major role in the evolution of species by: dramatic environmental changes triggering extinction as well as speciation species arising after splitting from an ancestral species when they acquire new adaptations to a changing environment species stabilizing for millions of years followed by abrupt disappearance when their ecosystem is disrupted Do these guys even THINK let alone read up on these things? They better go back to the drawing board... cause nothing they are saying... none of their "proofs" take intelligent decision making by the players or enviromental direction into account. So they are all worthless. DAK
