The issues you address are certainly valid. But we can't conquer them all in a day. Debunking a dominant theory in science requires first, a clearly superior alternative theory (ID), and second, the dying off of the dominant theory's chief proponents and their disciples. This takes persistence. It is never accomplished overnight. The issue here is actually much larger than theories of origins and evolution. It entails a major shift in scientific paradigm. This is one reason why neo-Darwinists and their allies are fighting so desperately to silence the proponents of ID, to disingenuously tar them with the same brush applied to "scientific creationism," and to exclude them from the scientific dialog. The other reason is, of course, that ID makes atheism and agnosticism impossible positions to hold. Their fear of this cannot be overstated.
