They're not the only ones. On every one of these threads, people who think ID is probably true get lumped in with young-earth, 7-day creationists. That's very predictable.

They lump themselves together, in that they are both collections of non-scientists, touting theories that are not amenable to scientific methods, at the present state of the data, to the degree that they feel comfortable revising the science curriculum by force of law, over the objections of the vast majority of scientists, and the institutions that speak for scientists.

"They lump themselves together, in that they are both collections of non-scientists, touting theories that are not amenable to scientific methods"

On the contrary, ID disputes nothing that can be demonstrated through scientific methods.

"to the degree that they feel comfortable revising the science curriculum by force of law, over the objections of the vast majority of scientists, and the institutions that speak for scientists."

So your real objection is that they dispute the non-scientific conclusion that "it all happened entirely by accident."

ID holds that yes, it happened, but there was Intelligence behind it. The only point of dispute is the existence of God.
