You need to spend some study time on what the new science actually reveals about darwinite beliefs, and less on suspicions about their motives.

I already have. Original ID died out almost 150 years ago when it was displaced by evolution. Neo-ID sprouted from American creationists who couldn't get their religious beliefs taught in public schools due to separation issues, and therefore tried to turn their religious beliefs into a non-religious pseudo-theory they hoped would be accepted.

The ID movement is mainly aimed at attacking evolution theory. This is evident in the proposed curriculum. That in itself casts doubts on the veracity of the claims. Evolution gained strength simply on its own merits, pushing ID to extinction by ignoring it and offering a better solution, not attacking it.

You appear to be more knowledgeable about ID than I might be. Is there a testable ID theory with predictive power that has actually been rigorously applied to the biological sciences?

Your "new science" is the "old creationism."
