I would agree if that is what they assert. But about that, I suspect there is dissension. I am pinging an intelligent interlocutor on that one, with whom you have crossed swords, because this issue really isn't within my intellectual portfolio.
There is remarably little dissention. All the major ID "theorists" are at the Discovery Institute. Here is what they say about intelligent design, straight from the horse's mouth:
Questions about Intelligent Design
1. What is the theory of intelligent design?
The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
2. Is intelligent design theory incompatible with evolution?
It depends on what one means by the word "evolution." If one simply means "change over time," or even that living things are related by common ancestry, then there is no inherent conflict between evolutionary theory and intelligent design theory. However, the dominant theory of evolution today is neo-Darwinism, which contends that evolution is driven by natural selection acting on random mutations, an unpredictable and purposeless process that "has no discernable direction or goal, including survival of a species." (NABT Statement on Teaching Evolution). It is this specific claim made by neo-Darwinism that intelligent design theory directly challenges.
