It is time to take stock: What has the intelligent design movement achieved? As science, nothing. The goal of science is to increase our understanding of the natural world, and there is not a single phenomenon that we understand better today or are likely to understand better in the future through the efforts of ID theorists. If we are to look for ID achievements, then, it must be in the realm of natural theology. And there, I think, the movement must be judged not only a failure, but a debacle.

That's bullshit, you can't just write Michael Behe and some of the other ID proponents off. They HAVE accomplished an understanding of things which could not plausibly evolve and the reasons for that.

Further, there is the strong probability that by thus relegating evolution and evoloserism to the garbage heap of pseudoscience history which is their rightful place, ID proponents might in fact thus be acting to prevent another world war of some sort and/or some of the other societal grief which was brought about by the concept that a man should view his neighbor as a meat byproduct of entirely random events, i.e. by Darwinism and the various forms of social evolutionism.

All of that more than justifies the effort which has been spent on ID, and anybody who can't see that is basically blind.
