Darwin debate mostly noise

Message to Behe: You may very well be an evolutionist.
Is this news? Granted that ID-ists might be confused evolutionists, but aren’t Darwinists confused selectionists?

Well, if Behe can call Miller an intelligent design proponent because of his Christian faith, showing that ID really is all about religion, then it seems that it is not more than fair that we call Behe an evolutionist for his acceptance of common descent, and his somewhat self-contradictory claim that after God set it all in motion, evolution could very well have played itself out via purely natural processes of regularity and chance. But if that is the case then ID, which is based on eliminating such natural processes to infer design seems to have lost its claim to it.
