ID has made a number of after-the-fact assertions about already-known natural phenomena

If SETI ever gets a supposed artificial signal, they will being making the same assumed assertions. Just like the evolutionists have been doing for years.

SETI = waste of money.

Just like the evolutionists have been doing for years.

Ah yes, all those assumptions that have been supported by over 100 years of observation and experimentation. It sure beats the hand waving and over-pious gesticulating from 'those anti-science, anti-education and knowledge' people. SETI = waste of money.

SETI is privately funded. I guess people can "waste" their money on anything they choose....even if it does further that nasty science thing that scares zealots.

Nope. The signal is recognized as "artificial" in the first place because it exhibits the predicted characteristics.
