OK... this is my first post, so go easy on me. Here's my thoughts on this subject: Let's say a company comes out with a new product that uses a special battery. They have to interface with a battery manufacturer to make sure the battery they need will be available otherwise their product will be useless. The battery manufacturer needs a product into which the new special battery will go. Their battery is useless without a device that requires that particular battery. Unless there is some sort of coordination between the two companies, both of their products are useless. Nature shows us many different adaptations which could not have developed independently. For example, a rattlesnake's tooth is hollow, and it inject's poison. The poison by itself doesn't provide the snake with much of an evolutionary advantage without a hollow tooth through which it can be injected. A hollow tooth doesn't give the snake an evolutionary advantage by itself, but the two things combined do. But how can a hollow tooth evolve? a tooth that is 25% hollow does no good because it can't inject poison. A tooth that is 95%, or 99% hollow does no good, either. It had to be 100% hollow, with the poison duct going through the center of the tooth in order to provide an evolutionary advantage to the snake. How can a strong poison and a hollow tooth evolve independently of one another? Perhaps God "nudged" evolution in the right direction. The same example can be used with bee stingers, scorpion stingers, and many other similar anatomical devices. What's a bee with poison going to do without a stinger? Rub it's rump on the victim and hope the victim has a scratch? Having said that, I don't like the idea of ID being taught in schools. Religion should stay out of schools, and the government should stay out of religion.
