In fact there IS an important issue relating to the age of the Earth.
ID claims to be science.
ID's aim is to establish an alternative explanation for the history of life on Earth. And the age of the Earth is relevant to that.
The scientific evidence overwhelmingly shows that the Earth is very old.
So ID SHOULD be taking a clear old-Earth stance as a movement, right ? But they don't. In fact the ID movement refuses to take a position. Aren't they just pandering to Young Earth Creationists by trying to smooth over the gap between OEC and YEC ?
