You are doing the same thing in your request for "creation/ID science experiments." On the one hand you are asking for the experiments, but on the other you define science in such a way as to exclude ID or creation as even being a possibility. If that is not true then you would have no problem just defining science in a way that does not exclude ID or creation.
One ultimate test of the validity of any idea is through the American-originated philosophy of pragmatism.
One question I have repeatedly asked of all ID/creationist proponents that they seem unable to answer is the simple "what has this stance done for me" or indeed done for anyone and everyone?
Norman Borlaug, the world's most unsung hero, saved between 1 and 2 billion lives, how many has AIG saved?
John Snow, by using statistics, identified the cause of cholera, which used to kill by the millions as being fecal contaminated water, how many disease vectors have the Discovery Institute identified?
Benjamin Franklin (deist) founded the first public library in the USA, what has Hovind (jailbird) done to educate the populace?
ID is a disease, a parasite that feeds on ignorance. Indeed it even promotes disease and ignorance.
So the question remains, what has ID done for me?
The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
