ID isn't a 'Christian' or 'Evolution' argument, it is an openness to questions. One of those questions is Why?, why are we here, how are we here?

That's not entirely correct, at least in the current debate. There are those on both sides of the debate who treat ID as a purely religious topic.

That's where the problem comes in.. it has been hijacked from it's original realm of exploration by those who want to pose their Evolutionanity or Churchanity in the argument.

How about those who believe that science and religion are compatable. After all, if G_od created everything, then science in itself, should be a reflection of G_od.

If there is no G_od or spiritual reality, then there is a major question in science and biochemistry that we would do well to answer. How could a finite being, created purely from biochemical mutations, create in it's own image, spirituality that describes an essence outside the reality of human kind? Or to put bluntly, where do things like spirituality and imagination come from?
