I know a number of scientists who are ID proponents and their scientific credentials are impeccable, as is their work.

Names?

I think it is important to note that scientists who are in the ID camp are not the fringe element or religious crackpots that Darwinists make them out to be.

They are certainly a fringe element.Try finding papers on ID in the regular scientific literature.

Some of these attacks tend to be quite vicious at times to the point where being an ID proponent can be a career limiting move. Just ask William Dembski or Stephen Meyer.

Dembski's scientific career was rather unspectacular anyway, and it had sputtered to a halt long before his slight notoreity as a creationist crackpot. I don't even know who Stephen Meyer is.

Here's a start, but you already know that, right?


A Scientific Dissent on Darwinism

Circular reasoning. The editorial boards on these peer-reviewed journals don't even consider accepting ID papers and then make the argument that because there are no papers on ID in the "regular scientific literature" that the science is not legitimate.
