Reread my statement more carefully. I didn't say that there wasn't enough time. I said that ID offers an alternative mechanism for the diversification of life on Earth.
Does it? How can this mechanism be tested for? How does this mechanism work? Making a claim is not good enough in science. You have to back it up with hard data, and for theories, there has to be explanatory powers, and it be testable and falsifiable.
ID is still in it's infancy because it's proponents don't know biology for the most part, and spend more time with the politics of trying to get it accepted in schools rather than overcome is defiencies.
