Have they done this kind of work with other species that I do not know of? What about man? Do they have a guess to how old man is? What did he first look like when he was first designed? Where was he placed on earth?

How about dinosaurs? Were they designed before man? Did the designer come back after dinosaurs died out and then design other animals (including man)? Did he do it all in one go? How long ago?

These are the kind of answers evolution has answered with evidence, mathematical proofs, and logical argument. New information is coming out all the time which is only strengthening the theory.

The theory (which really, it isn't. At best a hypothesis) of Intelligent Design has no major body of work done for itself. The best I see for it's claims are pointing out holes in other theories, which BTW is great since it gives us insight into what areas we (evolutionist) need to do more research in.

There is not enough on ID's plate to be taken serious. For it to be taught as a practical theory would be, like I said before, a mockery to Science
I believe in intelligent design and I also believe that evolution was used to bring the world about to its present state. The only species that doesn't have a solid transition species is the human being ever heard of the "missing link"? It is interesting to note that in the bible evolution is painfully evident in the story of creation (posted before) but the one act of superior creation by divinity was the human and this is the only species that doesn't have a solid transition species.

I believe that a creator could have put the requirements for life to start (nutrients, energy, elements, etc.) on the earth and then allowed it to grow and continue until it was fit for human life.
