I would look at it as that IDers look that there can be a reconciliation in the spiritual and the scientific and those items can be bridged by further understanding of science and religion, not stuck into 17th century thinking of both.

So ID is NewAge Mysticism? I thought that died out 20 years ago.

Nice label. I'm sure particle physicists like David Albert, Stephen Hawking, Amit Goswami and John Haglin would love to know they are 'New Age Mystics' because they are coming to accept that there is a 'spiritual' side to existence through their research in the deepest essence of existence.

Why should there be a gap between science and religion? Just the fact that there is religion should be a scientific question.
How could the finite ever even envision the infinite through a purely scientific explanation?
