ID claims since evolution can not explain everything, it must be false and therefore ID must be true.

That is an absurd argument to make.

I will concede that it is possible ID has taken place.

But ID in its current form is hogwash and even if ID has occurred, there is nothing to be gained by studying it since ID is completely out of human control, and completely arbitrary to the whims of the supernatural being.

"ID claims since evolution can not explain everything, it must be false and therefore ID must be true."

A sophomoric logical fallacy.

Description of False Dilemma

A False Dilemma is a fallacy in which a person uses the following pattern of "reasoning":

1. Either claim X is true or claim Y is true (when X and Y could both be false).
2. Claim Y is false.
3. Therefore claim X is true.

The funny thing is that in order for ID supporters to even reach the ability to present their "theory" as a basic logical fallacy, they must first categorically discount all available data pointing to the reality of evolution. They do it by simply saying "I don't believe it."
