"ID is nonsense that is a pipsqueak trying to pick a fight with Superman as science. ID makes Christians look stupid."

What makes Christians look stupid is:

Believing part of the scriptures and not all of them.
Twisting scriptures to avoid a plain and clear meaning.
Denying the power of God.
Believing the conclusions and reasoning of man over what God has told us.
Ignoring prophecy like 2 Peter 3, that said we would forget the flood and creation because we would assume that all things continued like they have from the beginning.

God has demonstrated the ability to heal instantly (Moses, Lepers, Guard's ear), to make sick instantly, to raise bodies from the dead after they've begun to stink (Lazarus), to control the weather, to control the movement of the planets and stars (Joshua's long day, Bethlehem star).

So there is absolutely no reason to assume God needed long ages or evolution to create man or animals.

The scientific evidence in support of evolution is not strong.

When looked at objectively, the Cambrian explosion is strong evidence of Creation not evolution.
The lack of transition fossils is strong evidence of Creation not evolution. Lining up Species going extinct and genetic disease are consistent with a cursed earth.
The idea that human's with tool making ability were around for 2,000,000 years or 200,000 years and didn't progress and didn't leave hardly any trace is simply not credible.

The scientific evidence of an old earth and universe is stronger, however:

We have identified problems with every dating technique. And they all rely on starting assumptions that we have no way at present to verify. Except that the starting assumption for K-Ar dating was recently proved false. No telling what impact that would have on current theories, if there was a way to go back and rethink everthing without relying on K-Ar dates.
There's a proof out there that the lead used to date the meteorites and thus the solar system could not have come from decayed Uranium in the meteorite itself. But the meteorites continued to be quoted as proof of the age of the earth.
Speed of Light is admittedly a problem for the age of the universe. But that doesn't mean there aren't alternative explanations. Including: Changes in the speed of light, or temporal differences affecting the creation week, propigation rates through space, and/or the distinct possibility that there were no stars on the third day and that God changed the past on the fourth day in order for starlight to arrive on time.
It is not deceptive for God to use his powers if He has a reaon to do so. And He does not have to give us the reasons for having done so. In most cases, He does, but in some He doesn't for His own reasons, which probably include that He didn't want man to advance too fast. (Babel)

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Authur C. Clark

What we do today with remote controls,cars, microwaves, flight would seem to be magic to someone of 300 years ago.
What God does today and has done in the past appears to be magic to us still. And I don't think it makes us look stupid to take that into consideration.
