ID also differs from theories of evolution that theorizes that a species' environment causes mutations or changes (as opposed to simlpy being a factor in determining which new species survive or become extinct). What they all have in common is that they recognize that the species that inhabit the earth now are decendants of what came before, and that changes have occurred somehow.<BR/><BR/>For Darwin, the mutations that change species were not necessarily inspired by a higher power, but occur at random. Since ID relies on assumptions that cannot be proven or tested (God, or some higher form of intelligence), ID has not received the support of scientists. <BR/><BR/>Of course, Darwin's theory doesn't proclude the possiblity of an intelligent design, but it is a scientific theory so it doesn't speculate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
