3. An experiment...
Perhaps propose an experiment -

Round up all the ID fundies and isolate them on an island or something. Then only permit technology and techniques which are revealed and/or approved as 'valid theories' in their holy books. This means no antibiotics, no surgery, no electricty....hell...nothing past iron chariots. Would be amusing to see them preach while wearing animal skins (no mixed cloths remember), waving stripy sticks in front of cattle, hitting rocks to get water, and trying to work out how to pray for fire.

It's just like 'alternative medicine' woo-woos. They all for pushing their brand of quackery, but when they get sick they break the sound barrier getting to the hospital to be treated with 'godless materialistic medicines'. If they practiced what they preached, they would be having holes drilled in their head to let the evil spirits out, or performing exorcisms to cure cancer.

I don't know who coined the saying but is appropriate - "You don't preach in my school, I won't think in your church"
