The definition of ID...

...according to gordy (kairosfocus):

"Intelligent design maintains that it is possible to infer from empirical evidence that some features of the natural world are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than unguided natural processes. Since ID relies on evidence rather than on scripture or religious doctrines, it is not creationism or a form of religion.

ID restricts itself to a simple question: does the evidence point to design in nature?

ID does not deny the reality of variation and natural selection; it just denies that those phenomena can accomplish all that Darwinists claim they can accomplish.

ID does not maintain that all species were created in their present form; indeed, some ID advocates have no quarrel with the idea that all living things are descended from a common ancestor. ID challenges only the sufficiency of unguided natural processes and the Darwinian claim that design in living things is an illusion rather than a reality."

WHAT evidence???????????????????????????????????????????

ID totally relies on scripture or religious doctrines, and it IS creationism or a form of religion.

Challenging the sufficiency of unguided natural processes and the Darwinian claim blah blah blah, does NOT support or prove ID claims. You have to acquire, show, define, test, and demonstrate positive evidence.

Your ridiculous religious beliefs are NOT evidence.
