The Dover trial was probably already the death knell - particularly when they had to admit that they would have to consider Astrology a science to be consistent with their position.
More recently, we have old earth creationist Dembski switching to young earth creationism in order to keep his job.
I try to follow some of the ID blogs. There's almost nothing there that would count as an attempt to do serious science. It seems clear that they are just putting on a show, to make it look to creationists as if they have something.

Well, maybe you can persuade them to appeal. We could use the entertainment.
It's not merely the trial outcome. The testimony from ID advocates on their view of science was devastating for the ID movement.
And welcome to evcforum. You could always open an introduction topic in the Coffee House.
