I hear where you are coming from Kuzz. First, I should have clarified that there are more proponents of ID in the world, than just the handfull who are Fellows at Discovery and who are in the spotlight. I have met many in my journey and several of them are agnostics, there are even some atheists (who believe that the Intelligent Designer(s) were highly intelligent aliens).
There is no question that many of the ID proponents in the spotlight are educated in theology in addition to their respective scientific disciplines. Which of course would make sense, since the implications of ID clearly point to a higher intelligence. Similarly, there are many Darwinists in the spotlight who are decidedly atheistic, being consistent with the materialistic world view which undergirds Darwinian evolution.
I would agree that there would be questionable motives of the ID'ers if A:) There wasn't science to support their position and if B:) They were agressively trying to have ID taught as the only theory in schools. But, Discovery's position is simply to want to see Darwinism taught in it's entirety. As an ailing notion with severe gaps and inconsistencies.
