As long as we stipulate that the best current evidence should be used to date that causative event. Currently, that date is between 13 and 14 billion years ago.
In addition, any theory positing the role of a creator in the development of life on Earth should use the best available dating methods (currently helioseismic and radiocentric dating correspond at about 4.6 billion years) and should account for the many false starts and dead ends found in the fossil record.
As I expected, upon reading the article no scientific evidence for ID was presented. There was only a "philosophic" claim that the universe could not have created itself. That's not science. Nor is critisizing an alternative view evidence for your own. ID'ers continue to prove the point that ID is not science.
While he outlines his argument defending Intelligent Design, he utterly fails to make the connection to the teaching of ID in the government schools.
Fundamentally, it is impossible to offer a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral education. Darwinism and ID are merely two examples out of thousands illustrating why the government must get completely out of the education business.
Strange, there was nothing in the article actually about evolution.
“First there was the theory that came to be known as the Inflationary Universe Model. Ultimately it was proved to be incorrect.”
—I somehow missed that news. When did THAT happen?
