ID theory is rooted in certain Philosophical categories as the grounding for deduction -- Thomistic reasoning/philosophy to name but one. This is in fact its strongest challenge to the accepted scientific method -- but it will take years of better apologists on both sides "duking it out" so to speak. Both positions have basic vocabularies and axioms that require some finesse to translate from one to the other and back again to finally reach something approaching communication. It is just easier right now to dump mud on each other.

Interesting. Could you expand on that a little? (I promise not to throw mud pies... :-)
