The reason intelligent design creationism doesn't get the respect it deserves in scientific circles is that it's not scientific. Has intelligent agency ever been observed to create a tree? A baby? Any natural organism or structure thereof?
There are as many types of IDC as there are supporters of the notion. You seem to say that species have not evolved by any mechanism, but there are prominent IDC'ers that claim they have no problem with the notion of species evolution in general. Michael Behe, on page 5 of
Darwin's Black Box, claims that he sees no reason to doubt the hypothesis of common ancestry. He merely argues that Darwinian natural selection can't account for the evolution of certain biochemical structures. If the Bible of IDC says that, why are you arguing against it?
So do you have evidence that the 'mechanism' of intelligent design is capable of producing organisms or species? Please provide us with your support.
The dark nursery of evolution is very dark indeed.
