If you have a problem with the nomenclature of "Intelligent Design", then call it something else. How about "Something Other Than Serial Mutation". Let's use SOTSM from now on.
I am suggesting that support for serial mutation is weak. Period. There are several long, ugly threads on this forum with hundreds of posts discussing the implications of the theoretical options if serial mutation is not the cause of speciation.

SOTSM
Got some SOTSM?
I apologize. I didn't realize you were simply referring to yourself when you said "ID folks." And it isn't fair of me to lump. In my experience, proponents of Intelligent Design are usually attempting in a round-about, scientifically oriented way, to site God as the source of the intelligence, and thus of the design. I mean who else could it be, right?
But as for SOTSM, I guess I'll just have to judge that once I have an idea what that Other Something is. What do you suggest is better?
