does not attempt to deny something between fossil A and C necessarily, but
it does reject the idea of everything originating in some primeval pool of
goo.

I've heard ID proponents claim that the eye is too complex to have
"evolved." This is not the pool of goo you mention.


There are radicals on both sides of the issues, as is the case in
everything. In the evolution camp there are those who are quick to jump to
conclusions not backed by science, simply because it's easy to throw the
cloak of evolution over things.

And it's also easy to prove the accuracy of evolution by its
predictive model. It works.

However, ID can never be "disproved" because it provides no predictive
capabilities. It's like claiming ESP and UFO's exists. Disprove one
example, and we can claim it still exists, since it hasn't been disproved.


As has been proposed many times by minds far greater
than mine, order does not come out of chaos, rather, order tends to decay
into chaos.

You are confusing entropy with order/chaos.

Order can be created out of chaos. There are many examples. Brownian
motion will mix chaotic dispersions into a more orderly mises. Pour
milk into coffee, and it will "decay" into a uniform color. Wind
turbluence and weather are examples of chaotic systems that are very
difficult to simulate, but as we gain experience, we gain
understanding.

Crystals form out of chaos. Nanotechnology and the creation of
nanotubes also form out of chaos. A pile of random carbon atoms can
form perfect nanotubes - one of the most amazing materials in the
world. Personally, I think nanotubes is a better example of "ID."

Complexity theory of self-similar organisms show that patterns emerge
out of chaos. Also look at genetic programming.

There are many studies using evolution simulators that show exactly this.
And the results are surprising.

As yet, I've never heard anyone put forward a theory for how
order in the universe evolved from chaos and somehow found a way to
stabilize at the level of order that we now base all of our science on.

Now you have.
