And how would ID go about solving for x?

I won't speak for any IDer, but directly to you. This is not a mathematical problem. The term signifies something epistemological about ourselves. "solving for x" assumes x is some kind of problem. But what kind of problem? The fact that we don't know everything is problematic, but it may not ever be solved in the sense that we will know everything.

I thank you for clarifying that.
