1. It is absolutely religious at the heart as the entire tenet behind it requires a God power. That is religious. It is not being used correctly by those with religious beliefs because they fail at every turn to give it any substantiation. I called everyone out to provide me with anything that could be construed as material proof or a scientific method of testing the theory, as yet nothing. All ID can provide is faith, and faith is not science.
2. I am religious as well. I just know where religion belongs and where it does not. Religion (within the function of ID) has not earned a single whit of respect in the same sphere hereditary genetics occupies. ID advocates insist on pushing their philosophy there anyway so we have every right to come back with our righteous indignation at the affront.
ID has earned nothing to be included in science simply because it brings absolutely nothing to the table of science.
