    No, ID is a specific stance including among other things the belief in the irreducibility of complex systems. There is nothing within Christendom that requires that view

    Evolution and ID are not the same. Whether either or both are given place under a Christian milieu is up to the believers themselves. Recall, that the most basic standard for identifying a Christian is one who believes Jesus is the Christ: the Messiah. What books are accepted as canon, the state of an ecclesiasty and the details of any adhered to metaphysic is sect specific.
