The heavens (and earth) declare the glory of God. This is just a bit of elaboration as to how they do so. What is not to like if it glorifies God?

But ID, "Scientific Creationism", Shrouds and such are the theological equivalent of spoonfuls of sugar to make faith more palatable. Faith is not to be based upon an "intuitive spirituality", one shouldn't need to be eased in their belief in God. If one finds material objects or scientific explanations necessary to strengthen their faith, then that faith is tenuous and subject to failure at the first trial.
God is absolute and exists with or without human validation or existence. When man attempts to quantify the mystery of God and Creation there is always the danger of diminishing the power of God, not by what is put in but what is left out. One glaring example is the interpretation of "I am the Alpha and the Omega" as the beginning and the end or the first and the last. We all know God has no beginning or no end.
It should be accepted as God is the total, the all. the source of all that exists.
