As far as I am concerned, the reason for IDers' confidence is straightforward. They're not talking to scientists. ID has always been primarily a social/cultural movement: one part Christian apologetics, one part far-right politics. Since Dover, ID has been entirely a social/cultural movement.
They don't care what scientists think of them. Looking at Dembski's recent Focus On The Family interview, they're not worried about even sounding like scientists. They've abjectly failed to make any scientific headway, so they're concentrating on Plan B - sidestepping science completely and aiming straight at the hearts and minds of Christian fundamentalists and the people they elect.
If Huckabee's in charge of the NSF and NIH, who's going to be getting the grants?
