Dover shows the entrenchment of Darwin within the system - not within the public. And as much as it does not wish to come out of the system, it is going to. Your hope is to make dover look like a loss for Creationists. No, it's a bump on the road for a new theory.

1. Would you state what the new theory is?

2. Are you using the term theory with the following meaning:

 

A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

(The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition.)

If not, what definition of theory are you using?

3. What time frame do you see before evolution is removed from the system?

I am using the word theory in it's proper sense, not the doped up, redefined sense concocted by evos in order to reframe the debate and dumb down the audiences expectations. ID is a theory. And how you think it is so important to whether ID is on it's way out or not is beyond me.

"A common but dangerous approach to the study of any body of unfamiliar material is to begin by adopting a definition of terminology, either one's own or another's, and to apply this terminology to one's findings even if the two are not compatible."
- William Hays

Of course, Hays was discussing the Troping Hypothesis.
