It seems to me that, for a variety of reasons, ID/creationists do not have regard for objective and empirical observations. Truth to them is merely a matter of who can shout the loudest and, as such, is purely political.Both creationism and creationism-lite are essentitally equivalent to postmoderndeconstructionism. Their political goals are identical, invalidation of scientific inquiry as a means of gaining knowledge.

...invalidation of scientific inquiry ...And whatever would be the substitute is a quick journey back to the dark ages.

Hear! Hear! Note well the NYT impish coverage of Intelligent Design. For some time now their science articles, particularly about cosmology, have always gotten in little digs, at least.
