Touche indeed...;)
I am sorry to not agree with your last point.
You seem to think that evolution is a religious belief.
Not sure how you come to this conclusion.
ID is a religious belief, Creationism is a religious belief, but evolution is a scientific theory.
Let us keep our facts straight here.
Nothing about the theory of evolution is religious.
It is based on scienctific fact and speculation.
Therefore it is scientific, religion on the other hand, god did this, or an intelligent designer did this, that is religion. Statements without scientific basis.
When you can prove scientifically that god exists, then we will both be talking the same thing, because then ID and Creationism will join the ranks of science, but until then, we are indeed talking 2 different things.
Creationism/ID= religious belief based on biblical writings.
Evolution= Scientific theory based on facts and scientific speculation, that speculation being based on scientific facts and physical laws.

Actually, I agree with much of your post. I think much of evolutionary theory is based on fact and speculation as well. Unfortunately, many, but not all, apologists for evolution theory do not seem to leave room for the possibility that they are wrong. Now, creationists don't either, but then, they ADMIT they are a religion.
These evolution apologists confuse the concept of a theory based on "interpretation and speculation based on facts" with the concept of "evolution IS a fact."
It is with those people that I admit I get a bit frustrated. I do think it is a religion to these individuals.
