However that may be, George raises serious questions about the constructive aspect of the IDers' program, the point at which they attempt to replace natural selection with intelligent design.

Again, ID does not replace natural selection. It supplements it, completes it.

At no point does ID undermine natural selection. Rather, ID provides an elegant and simple empirically-based theory that addresses questions that natural selection is at an utter and complete loss to even begin to address.

Let me make a couple of corrections to your comment:

At no point does ID undermine natural selection. Rather, ID provides an elegant and simple empirically faith-based theory hypothesis that addresses questions that creationists believe natural selection is at an utter and complete loss to even begin to address.

Nope. A theory must be falsifiable, which ID is not.
