Darwinists accept the fact that evolution and the bible can not be straightforwardly resolved. So do Creationists.
IDers insist on making the two fully compatible -- whatever nonsense it takes.
I think you make some great points and connections. Yes, I am an ID'er and I do make connections. I've never had any problems with evolution whatsoever. I simply put it as man's way of understanding of one of God's processes. Can I prove it? NO. ID depends on some science being true, but it chiefly depends on the existence of God (sorry that "higher power" is none other though some insist it isn't God). That was not "proven" to me, but I came about it through faith. I don't attempt to "prove" my position because no one else can understand how I reached it because it is a faith-based position. Thereby, I can respect one's belief that is different from my own and ask that they do the same.
