Actually, this is another problem with ID: It is an idea presented for inclusion in school curriculums that
the proponents don't even believe! It was created as a way for creationists to take advantage of what they see as a weakness in their limited understanding of science. They think that because science can't prove that there was no ID, the scientific community must therefore accept it as just as valid as accepted science.
They don't understand (deliberately in many cases) that the reason that ID isn't science is that there is no conceivable way to disprove (or prove, without cooperation from the IDer) it. Thus, it is philosophy. Or, more accurately, an idea which could be fodder for philosophical discussion.
