im not an ID proponent, although I do believe in creation as opposed to evolution and personally i cant see the benefit of evolution in science...what does it do for us really? How does evolution help us?
How understanding evolution helps us might be an interesting topic, but it isn't this one, is it Peg?

As far as i can tell, ID is simply the acknowledgment of purposeful design in nature.
And how does this "acknowledgement" help us? Can you think of anything to answer the topic? Did the belief that evil spirits cause diseases ever help anyone? It was (and is, in many poor, disease ridden parts of the world) a hypothesis that involves "the acknowledgement of purposeful design in nature".
My answer to the O.P. is that I can think of no way in which I.D. is of practical help to us.
