"If you were doing science you would have the evidence already, and not be shy about presenting it. But ID has no scientific evidence; it stems from and relies upon religious belief."
If its all just a big hoax, it should go away on its own.
As far as science is concerned it deserves to go away on its own, and it did for much of two centuries.
But it was revived by fundamentalists after the Supreme Court's Edwards decision, and they keep pushing it for religious reasons and making false claims that it is science. They occasionally manage to convince a school board or a legislature that doesn't know any better to endorse it.
The falsehoods that are inherent in these claims are why scientists are disputing ID.
