Another "scientist" speaking against the facts?

Actually, another believer in God who understands that seeking proof is the antithesis of FAITH.

" Actually, another believer in God who understands that seeking proof is the antithesis of FAITH."

lovely, but that has nothing to do with my post to you. I challenged your contention. The behaviour of the ID supporters does not turn off people to id. The reverse appears to be true.

As to your comment above. I do not pursue science in order to validate my faith. I pursue science to understand God's creation, and gain wisdom.

God encourages us to do this, many, many times in the Bible.

"He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good." -- Proverbs 19:8

"How much better to get wisdom than gold, and understanding than silver!" -- proverbs 16:16

"A wise man will hear and increase learning, ..."

"Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid." -- Proverbs 12:1

"The Christian Religion, when divested of the rags in which they [the clergy] have enveloped it, and brought to the original purity and simplicity to its benevolent institutor, is a religion of all others most friendly to liberty, science, and the freest expansion of the human mind." -- Thomas Jefferson, Mar 23rd, 1801 letter to Moses Robinson
