Your entire post seems to be aimed at putting ID on the level of a scientific theory, able to revise, or even replace, current scientific theories. In reality, ID is a religiously-motivated belief spun off from CS in the late 1980s following a US Supreme Court decision outlawing CS in schools.
So, ID is not something new -- it is a repackaged version of CS. It is religion in a Trojan horse, trying to assume the trappings of science to sneak in the back door.

I see you can't refute the logic in my post.
"it is a repackaged version of CS."
No, it is not.
"It is religion in a Trojan horse, trying to assume the trappings of science to sneak in the back door."
And why should religion have to sneak in the back door? That statement reveals the true agenda of those who falsely conflate ID with Biblical literalism.
