Okay let me clarify - the consensus of scientists is that mutation and natural selection are the mechanisms of evolution.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just sying that ID advocates are not saying anything that would give comfort to the religious opponents of evolution.

The ID advocates who have qualifications in science, loosely including Behe, Dembski and Denton, accept the fact of evolution.

Most of the people on these threads couldn't care less about the arcane disccussion of the details of evolution. They want the whole subject shut down.

I agree. Macro-evolution is not science in the testable sense, but rather a belief of "scientists" who were taught evolution from childhood, have never considered an alternative, and are ridiculed when they do.

Where is the debate? If it were such a settled "fact" why would anyone question it?

Give solid, irrefutable evidence for macro-evolution. See post 48 before you trot out bacterial "mutation".
