Bet your fun to argue politics with happy .
I do know someone "expelled" for merely stating "Intelligent Design", not teaching it, not pushing it...., not a friend, a sibling, and one of the scientists featured in the documentary Expelled.
Being very different from that sibling I was never very interested. In fact it had all happened a couple years before I was even aware. I think politics affect our lives in a much more immediate and direct fashion than this debate over Evolution, ID and Creationism. But, I do find it very interesting the hate and vitriol that even the mere discussion of ID can produce.
I have to look and see if there's a political sub forum here.

Get a dual sport, I have a KTM. The 640's have the vibration for the ladies, and will out perform most Harlies. The 950's have much less vibration, and will out perform most crotch rockets.

.......I have serious doubts that anyone has ever been expelled or rejected from a university for merely having a casual belief that there may be intelligence associated with the universe......

This is where my problem originates. I know of someone that has been "expelled or rejected from a university for merely having a casual belief that there may be intelligence associated with the universe".
That doesn't seem like it leeds to an environment where even as you wrote "I have nothing against the scientific research into Intelligent Design. In fact, I would actually be quite interested in any genuinely tangible evidence for such a thing". As Expelled exposed, how can "research into Intelligent Design" be addressed in today's climate?

....I said that Christians have no well-constructed theory of Intelligent design......

Christians theory is called Creationism, ID is not Creationism.
Expelled question is why can't anything other than Darwinism be discussed, considered, not taught, just discussed?
What is science afraid of?

The theory of ID is rejected because it's presented by Christians.

They have no "theory".
What's the theory?
All they have to offer is the biblical story and that already conflicts with known science.
They have no "scientific theory" to offer.
Even the anthropic principle is useless, becasue if you apply that to the universe, then you must also apply to the Intelligent Designer, and then you're right back at square one again with a circular argument that has no resolution.
It goes nowhere. It's an empty theory.
Let's face it, they're just peeved because they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar having used public schools to preach their religion for decades, and now they are just trying to weasel their way back in again.
They have no 'science' to offer. Just pure faith religion.
That's the TRUTH.
Aren't Christians interested in TRUTH?
Religion is religion, and science is science.
There's a difference between faith and facts.
Or can't Christians tell the difference? ohwell

Aren't Scientists interested in truth?
There is no science to back up Darwin’s theory...., well, there is. But it's the same type of "science" that says mankind had or could have had anything to do with Global Warming, a consensus is not science. I've got my problems with ID, but, why are people loosing their jobs just for saying, "there are several theories on how cells developed, Darwinism, Intelligent Design, Creationism"..., nothing more, and out of a job. How does that promote science?

I've seen it....., one of the "arguments" of the film is that discussions always turn to Evolution vs Creationism, ID is (by their definition (I'm just starting to become interested in this debate)) not refering to "God".
I have to go, daughter and grandkids just showed up.
