The problem is the loose use of the term "evolution". The question is not whether genetic change occurs. It does. The reason for the changes are many. These changes are then selected against as Darwinists claim. The confusion is in thinking that this is evidence that random mutation given natural selection can produce the fossil record we see. This has never been demonstrated nor is there clear evidence this is possible. In short, can natural selection and random mutation produce a mammal from a single celled animal in the geologic time we observe in the fossil record. Sometimes people refer to this as macro-evolution. Is it even probabilistically plausible? We don't really know.

The two questions underlying Intelligent Design are one, can we detect design, and two, can the process of natural selection fed by random mutation result in what we see.
