And if ID proponents were honest researchers, that's what they would be doing

Ah, the ad hominem again. I suppose you'd be willing to support universities giving grants to ID researchers, then?

Universities don't, in general, give grants. The Templeton Foundation does, however. A few years ago, they had a grant program for researchers proposing to do research looking for scientific evidence of intelligent design. No one applied.

Absolutely, assuming they actually proposed research. In fact, individual ID advocates have published good papers; they just don't happen to be relevant to the ID argument.

It remains a mystery what would constitute ID research. No one in the ID movement seems to have any idea how to go about research that is specifically ID.

I know of at least one FReeper poster who follows the research closely and occasionally opines on unsolved problems in evolution theory, but unsolved problems are not disconfirming evidence.
