It seems to me that ID simply lifts out the mechanism of orthodox Darwinism i.e. random chance and replaces it with a theologically more palatable mechanism, God's providence.
Fine, but that necessarily results in a continuous interventionism on God's part, He had to constantly create new forms since it is demonstrably impossible for one species to spontaneously become another species and there is ZERO evidence of any intermediate forms (there should be BILLIONS if Darwinism is correct.) Some researchers talk of the "gap" in the fossil record, it's more accurate to say the whole fossil record is a gap. There's nothing when they should be all over the place.
Oh and I get a giggle out of the Darwinists' fumbling to explain bio-genesis (how life came from unlife). I guess the latest theory is it fell from space
It's about as "scientific" as Hesiod's Theogony and far less poetic.
All this to say, it seems there would have been a simpler way. Why must we so violate Ockham's razor?

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Quote from: diotima
Wrong - humans only have that in a much higher degree than other primates.
AND even IF we were - how would that give credence to your ideas about "matter out of nothing" being necessary for evolution?

Evolution works on natural mutations, that SOMETIME (very rarely) result in something better fitted to the environment, than the original copy. There IS no "matter out of nothing" involved.

Please cite a few examples of mutations that resulted in "something better fitted to the environment".  Evolutionary theory, as it stands today, is entirely unsupportable.
