Evidence for design disproves evolutionary mechanisms (Talk.Origins)

Claim CI009:


 * "The Darwinian mechanism claims the power to transform a single organism . . . into the full diversity of life that we see both around us and in the fossil record. If intelligent design is correct, then the Darwinian mechanism of natural selection and random variation lacks that power" (Dembski 2001).

CreationWiki response:

Wrong! If Intelligent design is correct then the Darwinian mechanism of evolution would not have produced the full diversity of life that we see. Furthermore by concluding that life on Earth was intelligently designed, one is concluding that the Darwinian mechanism could not have produced this diversity, hence the claim is correct.

This argument is flawed because if the selection is done by an intelligent designer, it is not natural selection, but intelligent selection. It would be a form of selective breeding, not natural selection.
