It's actually funny- they're better at being consistent with their evolution strawmen then they are at being consistent with their own 'theory'. ID is or is not religion at their convenience, but at least they can agree that the Theory of Evolution covers the origins of life.

ID in a nutshell (a short, and certainly incomplete list):

- ID is and is not about religion
- The IDer may or may not be dead
- The IDer may or may not be a God of some kind (maybe there are multiple IDer Gods)
- If the IDer is not a god or gods it/they may be space aliens or time traveling humans
- ID addresses the origins of life: that is, the IDer(s) didit
- ID addresses origin of species: that is, the IDer(s) didit
- ID cannot be tested
- ID makes no falsifiable assertions about anything
- ID makes no predictions about future discoveries. It cannot predict anything.
- ID is useless other than as philosophy. And it really doesn't do much philosophizing either.
