What kills me about this position is that advocates of ID, on one hand, argue that the human brain is an instance of IC that couldn't have arisen by means of natural selection, and, on the other, that the brain has nothing to do with human consciousness and cognition. Without batting an eye.

The funny thing is that neuroscience just keeps moving right along. I just got back from a faculty recruitment talk where the topic was how reward timing is expressed in primary visual cortex! So hearing her try to parse out these different phenomena and speculate on how there is no neural basis for these behaviors is hilarious.
And sad.
