The DI had its day in court . . .

So it's the courts that establish what is and is not science? Who'd a thunk? I do not trust Judge Jones's opinions, no matter how popular he may be with evolution's faithful. I also do not trust people who cannot speak tentatively when they are dealing with tentative ideas. It kind of makes them look like, well, "useful idiots."

Well, courts make use of "expert testimony" all the time, and so are used to deciding such matters. The ID testimony showed that ID is not science--it was even admitted on the stand by Behe, where he admitted that astrology would fit his definition of science.

So who is to decide what is scientific or not? Do you trust priests or pastors or mullahs or wiccams to decide that? Do you trust psychics and purveyors of magnetic anklets to decide that? Or do you think the properties of atoms and DNA should be decided by majority vote?
