They aren't. Intelligent design posits that natural selection cannot create life as we know it, and inserts a deity as the cause.

What is the difference between Evolution and Intelligent Design?

Although ID has undoubtedly become a somewhat political phenomenon, it did not begin this way. Philip Johnson, another promoter of ID conceived of it, as do others such as Michael Behe as a concept which is critical in a negative sense of existing evolutionary paradigms. The evidence used by Behe relates to the possibility of complex biological systems, which he describes as irreducibly complex, arising by the chance mechanisms of evolution. Since all the parts of these systems are required to be in place for the sytem to operate, the process of natural selection would select against the devlopment of these complex systems while they were being 'built' by the slow and gradual process of evolution. In this sense, ID was put forward largely as a critique of evolution and points to a number of different examples which are inexplainable under current evolutionary thought. Currently there is no scientific explanation as to how the genetic information required to 'build' these structures could arise spontaneously through evolutiuonary processes. Further to this, the science of genetics, in line with the laws of thermodynamics point to mutations as unable to add new genetic information, although recombination and duplication certainly occur, as well as certain genes being 'switched off' or 'on' with resultant effects in living things. ID theorists, although themselves criticizing evolution, or the current understanding of it, in turn come in for criticism from both evolutionists and creationists alike. The former, because they are criticizing the theory of evolution, the latter for the ID theorists reticence to name the designer.

Natural selection is based on what 5 observations?

The theory of natural selection is based on the following assumptions about the nature of living things: 1. All organisms produce more offspring than can survive. 2. No two organisms are exactly alike. 3. Among organisms, there is a constant struggle for survival. 4. Individuals that possess favorable characteristics for their environment have a higher rate of survival and produce more offspring. 5. Favorable characteristics become more common in the species, and unfavorable characteristics are lost.
