You can't study ID. If you could, it would be science and I wouldn't mind it being taught in Biology class. You can't run ID experiments, you can't test ID theories, you can't form ID hypothesis and then test them.
What do you want us to study, Matt? Again I ask the question, what scientific experiments would you run to prove the existence of an Intelligent Designer?
