ID is the daydream that if you can point out an anomaly somewhere, a house of cards comes tumbling down and suddenly all ideas are equally valid.

In such an environment, it is difficult to offer valid criticism of the theory of evolution. Anit-evolutionists immediately seize upon such criticism as reason enough to scrap the whole shebang, and the defenders of evolution, conditioned by such tactics, often reflexively dismiss such criticism as more of the same.

That would be difficult in any event given the preponderance of evidence now that some kind of evolution has happened. But yes, the credulous clamor of a certain segment of the population for scientific proof of God makes the whole enterprise rather suspect. Another bit from that Dembski article:

Is intelligent design's appeal international? Does it cross religious boundaries? Or is it increasingly confined to American evangelicalism?

I don't know if I'd say "increasingly" but I'd certainly go with "so far, largely."
