As I mentioned before, ID proponents will point to the awesome
complexity of nature as evidence *for* ID and I strongly suspect that
the vast majority of those who haven't made up their minds will find
that a compelling argument. So again I would implore us to stick to
the simple facts.

It doesn't matter if there is or isn't evidence for ID. "Evidence
for" is a very tricky and innately subjective thing.

It doesn't even matter if ID is or isn't "true." Science isn't about
"truth"; it has no way of establishing "truth."

ID is not science BECAUSE it is invulnerable to evidence.

100% agree with everything you wrote above!
