I still have yet to figure out how evolution and ID are incompatible. One postulates the creation of the universe, the other is a theory as to how species evolve.
That's not "ID" as the "ID movement" explains it. ID is an attempt to explain "irreducably complex" structures, which are supposed anatomical features of organisms that "could not" have emerged through natural selection. The problems with it are twofold; first, it is abundantly clear from the very words of the major backers of the ID movement that it is nothing more than Biblical literalist creationism with a screen covering up the religious aspects and second, the arguments regarding alleged "irreducably complex" structures have already been shown to be flawed and without merit.
ID as a movement has nothing to do with the creation of the universe and everything to do with overthrowing accepted practices of science in favour of conjecture based upon biological ignorance.

When you mention "irreducably complex", is that the theory that one part does not work without any other part?
