Do you agree with me that the whole ID issue is potentially damaging to faith? Not to mention to conservative politics that seek to do things that faithful people should desire. Such as strict constructionist judges.

All of it hinges on a particular interpretation of Genesis, that not all agree on.

"Do you agree with me that the whole ID issue is potentially damaging to faith?"

Yes, it causes folks to stumble. Present and advocating falsehoods does not lead folks to truth.

" All of it hinges on a particular interpretation of Genesis, that not all agree on."

The truth is unique. Reality contains no contradictions, so where they are apparent, the presence of errors, or falsehoods are highlighted and should be corrected.
