"ID and creationism (ie Biblical) are not, not, not the same thing."

Except when its convenient. And ID is pretty clearly the same thing as Koranical (is that a word?) creationism to one Mr. Mustafa Akyol. See:

Nice example of guilt-by-association.

ID simply states that some outside Intellegence created life and may have had a hand in shaping it over time. It is therefore compatible with Christianity--and Islam, Deism, Hinduism, Buddhism, agnosticism, New Age, and every other belief system that posits a creative intellegence behind life.

The only ones who are throwing a fit are those who a) don't understand ID and have fallen for the press bit that it's "young-earth Creationism in disguise," and b) those who are so wed to their atheistic creation myth (usually something involving Campbell's primordial soup) that they are personally threatened by the increasing evidence that life could not have arisen on its own.
