The trouble with ID is that, even though many of the theories are equally untenable, they keep trying to twist the logic to make them usable.

I can see that, but I think its primary statement is tenable or usable.

If you think that is only true in this particular field of study, you haven't been following the discussions/ arguments/ research in the realm of high energy physics and cosmology (quarks, gluons, WIMPs, "dark matter", superstrings, superstructure, chronons, etc...) during the past few decades. So many of those concepts and hypotheses have been incredibly counter to Occam's Razor, not to say anything about how poorly they fit data and observations - but they keep trying to twist them into further knots...

Even the sacred Hubble "constant" is now under honest attack from some quarters as a result - finally.
