Comments on Greg Cootsona and ID

Yes, as I pointed out years ago, in a detailed word-study reproduced later on this site–

– but in the present discussion, I was saying to Greg that one of the virtues of ID theory is that it does not assume that creation and evolution are in opposition. Some leading ID proponents have affirmed universal common descent – which no creationist on the planet does.

People can interpret his version of common descent as they choose. I merely point out that he affirms it, and explicitly distinguishes himself from those whose religious views don’t permit common descent. There’s a nice section on this in the middle of Darwin Devolves.
