Umm.. What did they say ID was?

AFAIK, ID is saying that one can show there is design in the resulting
universe. ID would include a G-d guided big bang, geology, evolution,
etc... and therefore makes no claims at odds with science.

I would think that ID is thus the default position for many O
scientists.

Unless they felt there was no way to rigoroously define design, and thus
design couldn't in principle be scientifically measured.
