Did James claim that *you* supported Intelligent Design (ID)?
He just expressed a scientifically rational opinion about
the pseudoscience called ID.

The consensus of scientific opinion is quite clear about evolution.
The scientific facts supporting evolution are overwhelming.
There is no scientific controversy.
Evolution is a fact (or collection of facts).
Darwin created the theory of "natural selection" to
explain the mechanism.
Only laypersons and ideologues deny evolution itself.

You claimed that you do not believe in the theory of Darwin.
Is that a way of saying that you deny the fact of evolution
or Darwin's theory of "natural selection"?
