You are correct.

Besides, Einstein himself stated that imagination is more important than intelligence. Seeing the "mind" of God (i.e. ID) requires more than science, it *demands* creative thinking that is outside the scope of science. Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of quantum physics can see this. Krauthammer, who can otherwise be brilliant, apparently does not.

"Seeing the "mind" of God (i.e. ID) requires more than science, it *demands* creative thinking that is outside the scope of science."

I wouldn't go quite that far.

While ID is the only thing that I know of that explains the origin of the universe, it's als a one size fits all answer to almost anything.

It doesn't take a lot of creativity to say that things are the way they are because they were designed that way.

ID is an answer that cannot be proven. Therefore ID is never the end answer to an investigation into something.

Scientists need to be open to the fact that the world may have been designed to be the way it is, but that doesn't mean they should stop trying to understand better how the universe works.

The problem with religious fundamentalists is that they see ID as the end answer and suggest that we stop looking for answers.

ID is not imcompatible with science or with evolution. If there is a God, which I believe there is, science is the study of his creation. Seeking to understand Gods creation in more depth is something religion should embrace, not oppose.
