In terms of a minimal theoretic definition, ID is used by many professional disciplines today, since all it says is that intelligence can be detected. This comes up in any discipline that deals with human intent, such as forensics and law, signal processing, web search, spam filters, etc. ID as a scientific methodology merely says we shouldn't arbitrarily limit where we can look for intelligence. The only reason we currently have this limit is because of purposeful cultural transformations (see "Closing of the American Mind") and not because of any rigorous arguments or evidence. Also, it needs to be said that ID vs evolution is a false dichotomy.
