Very nicely stated, but.....
1) There are no theories, hypotheses, or even logic-based explanations.
2) There is no empirical evidence in support of IDists by IDists, or otherwise at this point in time.
3) There is just the naive, juvenile, immature desire for unmerited recognition in an arena where everyone else has to be able to logically explain and provide good evidence that their "crackpot" idea should even be considered.
Like anyone else, these groups (YECs/IDists), could have found funding somewhere....but they have chosen not to. Hmmm, almost reminds me of some bible scripture to the effect of the answers being there if you
look for them???? They aren't even attempting to look, they have chosen presumption instead.
