That depends on what you mean by "creation" and "ID". Science can
certainly falsify (quite easily) the notion that species were created
separately, or that phyla were created separately in the Cambrian
explosion, and that sort of thing. If, on the other hand, you suppose
that god intervened at various points during evolution to introduce
crucial new mutations, there is nothing to falsify that.



Ahhhh... I can't suggest anything to you. The best that I can do is to
state that I believe that God was the creator - how and when and why, I have
no clue. Could have been done over millennium, could have been done all at
once, could have been done in 6 days or 6 seconds or whatever. Just don't
know. I simply see an order to the universe that I attribute to God and an
intelligent design.

No problem. I can't tell you whether god was the creator, but I can tell
you how and (for some senses of the word) why. Clearly it was not done
is 6 days or 6 seconds, but over billions of years. And with regard to
life, it all comes from a common ancestor somewhere around 4 billion
years ago.
