You stated it well; it's difficult to conduct a scientific inquiry on the history of life (Please forgive me. I realize I'm REALLY paraphrasing you here). No one from either side can reproduce our origins in controlled setting. Science is just a lousy tool to use to reproduce ancient history.

The evos look at fossils and attempt to extrapolate plausible history. By “evos” I mean those who adhere to macroevolution. I think its safe to say that we have reached a consensus on both sides to accept microevolution (fka adaptation.) The ID people look at mathematical probabilities of designs of similar complexity arriving by chance.

If it was just a matter of a disagreement over whether it was verifiably random or possibly directed, it might be easier. A quick read of the threads should tell you that's not nearly all there is to it.
