Not to rehash, but then how does that put it at odds with current scientific ideas, evolution in particular?
I doesn't. Only the idea ID is at odds with is that we came to exist without God, which evolution itself does not claim.
Dembski's definition of ID is "Intelligent Design is the study of patterns in nature that are best explained as the result of intelligence." So it's not as much about proving evolution false as it is proving that an Intelligent Designer is responsible for our existence. And since it uses science, and science alone, to get there, that is why they argue it belongs in a science classroom.
