According to both Jason Rosenhouse and P.Z. Myers it is.
I agree, too. When I started debating Creationists/ID'ers I had about three debates open at any given time (be the opponents Muslim, Christian, Jewish or other) and I bumped into a fairly new claim every now and then. Not any more. We've got a grand total of one Creationist here at the moment and no sign of there being any more.
Is all of that necessarily a good thing? Well it would be if that were to mean that both ID and Creationism are dying but that's not quite the case. While I haven't heard a peep worth mentioning from the ID squad in ages, I have heard and seen Creation Ministries International (Kent and Eric Hovind) rear its ugly head again as well as Ken Ham's AnswersInGenesis (See Noah's Arch and the Creation museums)
It's not much, granted, but it's more than can be seen from the ID people.
Conclusion: Don't get your party gear out just yet, we've only chopped off one head of the Hydra.
PS: Ironic that those folk are always predicting the "Death of Darwinism" yet it's they who're going to an early grave. Or late grave, however you want to look at it.
