And yet none of them have a set definition for what "kinds" means in this context, allowing plenty of flexibility to interpret it however it suits them.
The same with "mega fast evolution" which is just a special pleading argument allowing for Ark ridiculousness.
Just to clarify, cherry-picking undeniable parts of scientific theories, throwing them in a blender with scripture and dumping it in a jar labeled "Intelligent Design" does not make a competing scientific theory.
ID is Cargo Cult science. It's supported by people who don't understand the theories they reject or science on the whole, so they dress up in lab coats, pretend to be scientists and researchers, and conduct "studies" that consist of little more than looking for loopholes in scripture, and presenting their results to believers who swallow it down whole.
But it's no more a competing scientific theory than a cargo cultist can summon a "magical sky beast" by wearing a coconut helmet and waving sticks like they saw an air traffic controller do. All they're doing is imitating what little they do understand, based on completely false premises and a lack of overall awareness.
