So my point that you are unable to tolerate differing opinion is correct.

Not even close.

Differing opinions would be like "Chocolate tastes better" or "Strawberry tastes better."

Opinions are subjective.

Science and things arrived at scientifically are objective.

ID is not scientific in any way and is the functional equivalent of claiming that 2+2=Buick.

Calling something stupid doesn't make it so.

No, something being stupid makes it so. That is the case regardless of whether or not I point it out or you recognize it.

That’s where you went off the rails.

If 50 doctors pick drug A to be the best drug for hypertension while 50 other docs pick drug B to be the best drug for hypertension and write papers supporting their findings, science is very much, in the end, subjective when it comes to my decision deciding how to lower my blood pressure.

The interpretation of science very much is subjective and scientists are influenced by politics, ideology and yes money, just like anyone else.

Global warming immediately comes to mind.
