Can you think scientifically without the straw man 'creationism'? Are you a hard core atheist?

Huh? Would it be better if I call it "ID?" And I'm unclear as to how my religious beliefs, or lack thereof, have any real-world bearing on the science of explaining the diversity of life on the planet earth.

The relation is; unless you are an ardent atheist..you also believe in creation...you 'creationist'!
