You believe in ID? What is your belief in ID based on? "The Bible tells you so?" You just said that was the only basis for 'proof' of ID. Now, suddenly, you say you believe in ID.

I always said I believed in ID, I just don't think it's science and doesn't belong in science class. My belief is based on belief, not proof, which is again why I think it's not science. There's nothing bad because it's not science, not everything has to be science. Just like science is not bad because it isn't biased by religion.

That's just a dumb quote.

“Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.”

There's nothing wrong with someone being intellectually fulfilled and be an atheist. If that's what you believe, that's fine by me, and yes maybe evolutionary theory makes it more possible, but that doesn't mean it's the only way.

“As evolutionists, we see that no [ethical] justification of the traditional kind is possible. Morality, or more strictly our belief in morality, is merely an adaptation put in place to further our reproductive ends. Hence the basis of ethics does not lie in God’s will.... In an important sense, ethics as we understand it is an illusion fobbed off on us by our genes to get us to cooperate. It is without external grounding.”11 —E. O. Wilson and Michael Ruse, “The Evolution of Ethics,” 1991

What's wrong with this? Does ID say that the intelligent designer gives people morality? Does it say that ethical evolution couldn't have been a part of the design?
As for the darwin quote, I don't understand what you are trying to prove with that one.
I don't know what kind of proof I can give to say one species evolved to another, there is not proof, that's why it's a theory, but there is evidence such as similarities between speceis and fossil records. Not really enough to totally convince me that it works at the macro scale, but still, it's scientific. When you get into mixing religions with science you might as well start calling phsycics scientists and start calling their predicitons evidence. Next thing will be a glass moving on a table will be considered scientific evidence that ghosts exist.
