==I don’t know of any that have even attempted to make such a subjective argument.

Creation, ID and Evolution are all subjective sciences in that they are all forced to make inferences about the unrepeatable past. What Williams is positing is that ID is the ONLY acceptable historical inference with respect to the laws of cause and effect. If you can think of a better historical inference, I would love to hear it.

I'm afraid I can't tell you, because I'm not familiar enough with all the issues involved to give you an example.

If it's a matter of making some determination that's going to result in public policy then I want to hear from people who are familiar with it and can render their opinions first.
