Natural selection as the mechanism is the theory.

My main problem with ID is that once you stick god into the picture, it tends to stifle further inquiry. After all, if god did it, any more questioning or speculation or testing of other theories would be blasphemy at best. "God did it" is the answer to everything.

ID is for people who look at the scientific method and feel tired. It quite properly belongs in the churches and the homes, but has absolutely no place in a science classroom.
