Macro or Micro in ID?
It is my understanding that ID accepts microevolution but not macroevolution.
The limited reading that I have done in ID suggests that many of them actually accept macroevolution but not micro! Don't confuse them with YEC creationists (though they want the YEC'ers to be confused).
This backwards view from the YEC'ers isn't something I've seen mentioned before.
They, generally, accept an old earth, the possibility that much evolution is the result of mutation and NS and therefore a lot of the branches between higher taxa. What they are picking away at is very small details like the evolution of specific biochemical pathways. These seem, to me, to be micro indeed.
