Clearly everyone wants to ride science's coattails.

The Biblical truth that I believe precedes modern science by millenia, js. You can't have ancient truths trying to 'ride the coattails' of an academic trend in its infancy.

Another interesting phenomenon is the common practice on these threads of insulting evolution by claiming it is faith based, while others on the same thread are claiming ID is respectable because it is scientific.

There is no inconsistency here, js. ID IS science (though denied by evolutionist zealots), so there is no need to have to defend its legitimacy, except to those who have some personal need to deny new research.

And it isn't even debateable that it takes great faith to believe in evolution. If you look at the intricacy of the universe, and the human body and see them as products of random evolution, you have enormous faith in 'randomness.' If you believe that human creativity and thought just evolved over time without a higher intelligence's directing it, you have great faith in the impossible.

I have said it before. There is no shame in your having faith.......the pity is in what you have chosen to put your faith in.

So does Zeus, Thor, Wotan, and a thousand others.

No one claims the intricacy is random. It is shaped by natural selection.

Are you claiming that disease is designed as a deliberate act?
