It should also be noted that many (even some prominent) evolutionists used to include the origin of life in "evolution". However, now that severe scientific evidence has accumulated against it evolutionists have insistently divorced it from evolution in debates. Interestingly evolutionists writers still include realtively large sections on it even in dedicated "evolution specific" books, as well as textbooks [usually only "positive evidence" though].
Though they formally now insist that evolution has nothing to do with first causes, they demand that creationists (such as myself) and other ID proponets explain first causes (despite the fact that formal ID theory statemets usually aren't specificaly about all first causes).
Many evolutionists also misrepresent ID theory by omitting the issue of revelant qualifying characteristics which are either implicit or explicit in all ID statements, in order to falsely claim that ID is inherintly somehow illogical (such as involving self-refutation, infinite regression, or special pleading). They have to do this in order to make their false argument against ID that "God /the designer would also therefore have needed a designer".
