religion shouldn't be about explaining the external, natural world. it's about understanding our inner nature.
ID "science" is nothing but recycled arguments which originated with
William Paley. Paley was a Christian, whom unfortunately neglected to notice that Christ tended not to use God as an explanation for how our bodies got to be the way that they are, etc. it was an unfortunate, and deluded excursion in theological history, and deserves to be discarded as nonsense.
ID is neither religion nor science, it's garbage.
