But for ID to challenge natural selection, it must propose an alternate history that would expect to find some different kind of evidence.

And I asked ---
Are you stating that the Darwin hypothesis was sufficient for the paradigm shift in science that now excludes all telic arguments? Natural Selection caused the paradigm shift?

The first article seems to be dealing with abiogenesis and is irrelevant to evolution. I'll woork on the othes as I get time.

Let me pick just one paragraph from your second article:

The first discovery startled evolutionary biologists: contrary to the Darwinian notion of competition among species for survival, microbial species cooperate. While a species in pure culture will grow to the limit of the resources available, as Darwinian theory expects, in a natural setting species form a stable community where the numbers of each species stay constant so long as the environment of the community does not change radically.

Excuse me, but just where in Darwin is cooperation forbidden? Life is full of symbiotic communities, as well as stable parasitic communities. What is this guy talking about?
