Arguments for ID are merely unwillingness to admit ignorance of stuff we are ignorant about
More than that, arguments 'for' ID are actually, once the garnish is scraped off, arguments against naturalistic explanations, couched in pseudo-scientific language. Stir in a few cherry-picked real scientific concepts, being careful to remove any citations first of course, add a dash of carefully pruned quotes from actual scientists for colour - you can use ready made ones from a holy book, but sparingly otherwise the mixture becomes glaringly stodgy and turgid - and you are one step away from the perfect proselytising soufflé. Plus all the lucrative pundit contracts and theme park profits that go with it.
Just don't poke at it too much, or the whole thing collapses.
