"Then why is every prominent ID proponent affiliated with them?"

I'm not. Ergo your premise is flawed (and since your entire argument depends upon your premise, that must mean that your argument is likewise flawed).

I said PROMINENT ID proponents.

Have you published any books on the subject? Do you have an academic appointment somewhere?

Name a single ID advocate to which the above applies who's not affiliated with the Disco Institute.

And no, Ann Coulter doesn't count. She's an ID advocate, but pretty much everything she wrote about it in her latest book came straight from Dembski, who's a Disco fellow.

I think one could reasonably define prominent as having written a book that most people interested in the subject have heard of and seen quoted, or having been invited to testify as an expert witness in a relevant court action.

I suppose there are prominent scientists who have done none of these things, but we all know that scientists are fired as soon as they indicate an interest in ID; therefore there cannot be any prominent ID supporters who are successful, practicing scientists.
