It would be if modern science actually engaged in "outright rejection of higher powers", but since it doesn't, you're just revealing your misunderstandings about science.

Not at all. "Modern science" is no longer simply interested in seeking the truth, but is actively engaged in propping up the philosophy of non-theistic materialism. The caterwauling of many atheistic scientists that ID (which simply proposes that life is intellegently designed, not that it all happened 6000 years ago or that no evolution has taken place) is just a back-door for creationism is one proof: If they were not actively engaged in trying to fiat out "higher powers," they would no more be threatened by ID than geologists are threatened when an archaeologist proposes that a weathered bluff shows signs of having been artificially constructed as a wall.

Truer words have never been spoken. Home run.

That is the essence of the argument, isn't it?
