The reason for this is that ID is religious belief masquerading as science; on close examination the science evaporates and all you are left with is belief.
The whole sordid scheme is laid out in the Wedge Strategy.
There is even more detail in Dembski's Mere Creation. Here's a tidbit from Dembski's "Introduction" (p. 29):
Virtually every discipline and endeavor is presently under a naturalistic pall. To lift this pall will require a new generation of scholars and professionals who explicitly reject naturalism and consciously seek to understand the design God has placed in the world (see Bruce Chapmans postscript in this volume). Theologians will have the task of taking up all these developments, formulating a coherent theology of nature that makes sense not only of God creating, sustaining and acting in the world but also of God incarnating himself in Jesus Christ.(Hint: there is a lot of creation, faith and intelligent design, but no science to speak of in this book. It's the Wedge Strategy on steroids! What a joke! ID is clearly exposed as "mere religion.")
And this relates to Professor Marks’ website troubles . . . how?
