Mike, you've been deceived by a propaganda machine!
Seriously, ID is a scientific nothing, the Kansas school boards wanted to teach a scientific nothing and .... (you get the picture).
I do not understand how any progress can be made on a creations versus evolution board and how it can have any purpose if you want to maintain that it is a fact that ID has gotten nowhere scientifically.
Unfortunately for the ID proponents, this is a fact. If you have any evidence to the contrary, please present it. Now it has to be scientific evidence, be able to pass a peer review, be reproducable, you know the usual stuff that science has to be able to do to pass muster. Nobody yet has presented a falsifiable theory for ID, maybe you can be the first.

we could also begin teaching the flat earth "theory" as an alternative to the somewhat spherical earth fact.
Truly original.
We could also teach the fake moon landing conspiracy theory as an alternative historical explanation for the apollo program.
This was a step back from schraf's post, next time don't bother.

You may not like the content of Lam's post, but both those examples are valid comparisons of what ID is like to mainstream science. Perhaps you could explain in more detail why ID should be given any more consideration than other crackpot theories?
