People could support nearly anything in their off time, but the collection and analysis is the heart of science, and data collection is neutral as to theory.
The question remains -- what research has supported ID? What kind of evidence could support ID? No one in the ID movement, going back to William Paley, has been able to formulate a research program for ID, or propose any kind of research that might support.
Simply finding unanswered questions in mainstream science is not support for an alternate hypothesis that does not exist. ID proposes no mode of action, no limits or characteristics of the designer that would distinguish intelligent design from design resulting from natural selection.
All we have is the assertion that unsolved problems imply that solutions are not possible.
And that is theology, not science.
