“The evolution folks never said the whole thing was random. Ever hear of natural selection?”

The ID people call natural selection “micro-evolution” which is completely compatible with ID. ID people have a big problem with “macro-evolution”. Proponents of “evolution” can’t explain “macro-evolution”. “Macro-evolution” is the idea that all life originated from non-life.

Though they also tend to get reeeeal quiet about how the earths current biodiversity and distribution of species (i.e. lemurs in Australia) can be explained post-noah’s ark without recourse to super-evolution.

That is not the definition of macroevolution. Macroevolution, simply put, is evolution above the species level.

Sorry, that's incorrect. Macro evolution refers to evolution that happens above the species level; genus and family level evolution.

Most ID supporters/creationists cannot accept the actual scientific definitions of evolution, micro or macro, because it destroys their efforts to assail strawmen.
