"How can you be so sure they don't and won't let their innate human flaws get in the way of their ideals of "pure, unbiased science"?"

Of course you get ego flying around. Science is actually known for that. In the end, the evidence speaks for itself.

A theory is not built by one man. It might be stated clearly by one person, but by the time it reaches the status of a theory, it is the cumulative work of hundreds or thousands of people all coming to a common conclusion.

It's not like there is 3 or 4 "evolutionists" sitting around coffee wondering how they are going to keep their strangle hold on biology.

ID is a handful of people, many not even scientists much less biologists swimming against essentially the entire scientific community. Pushing an idea that is inherently not falsifiable and hence inherently not scientific.

I think the main idea behind ID is that some of the claims of the current theory are wrong. What if they simply spend their time trying to present evidence against the current theory and drop the whole "intelligent design" alternative?
