Not at all. ID is the claim that mankind was designed and created as he is now, in his current form. Species change, but there is some sort of cap on the change in that there is no speciation. Not mechanism is suggested as a method of capping these changes so as not to allow for speciation.
Ah, I see. Thanks!
I thought maybe ID meant that someone accepts evolution completely, but still believes that God was behind it all and set everything into motion to begin with.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
