ID isn't a theory, though! They take no position. It's a bloody excuse and a reason to avoid doing actual research.
OH look Jane, that's a creature we've never seen. Rather than study it and develop theories about how it works, let's just assume it's either (a) too complicated for our feeble minds to understand or (b) so perfect that we'd be foolish to study it.
There's a colloquial term for people when they use excuses like this.. it's called a cop-out.

And FoolThemAll, as I said above -- anyone who blindly backs a "theory" like ID with only "minimal exposure" doesn't deserve to be arguing. And they're also very unlikely to listen to someone who actually understands the science, because they've been thus far too lazy to do any learning themselves before yammering away needlessly.
