wrong.. ID doesnt have to include a designer in order for it to be true.

So, can you teach me the specifics of ID? I'm here because I want to learn.

intelligent design states that the universe is not random, but has laws that govern it. in fact, if you knew what all the laws were and where every particle was along with any energy, you could predict what would happen to it in a billion years. thats because if an atom follows all the laws of the universe, there is only one path it can take, and thats the one thats dictated by the laws. the same goes for anything else. this is a hard concept for many to understand because so many people believe in free will.
also, there are forces that we dont know about yet. just like gravity was not known(that we know of) before newton but it still existed. its possible for intelligence to be a force like that and just like gravity tends to accumulate in or around matter and energy, intelligence may be the same. just like a planet has much more gravity then just space dust found in a nebula in the same volume as the planet, intelligence might be found more abundantly in living organisms. of course, these are all just theories, just like evolution, but theyre worth investigating. but apparently the science community is pretty set on evolution so theres no point to looking at other ideas right?

Also, we know why information about evolution is missing. The dinosaurs didn't write diaries, and 99.99% of living creatures are completely destroyed when they die. Probability says that there are going to be a lot of species that leave absolutely no trace. That doesn't mean they didn't exist, but it means we can't know everything.

youre assuming that the evidence for evolution is there but we just dont know about it. why are you so sure?
