It's a common mistake, a lot of people incorrectly believe YEC and ID are equivalent. In part it's due to the fact that YEC are often the loudest and most outspoken of the IDers
TBH, on some level YEC is a little more respectable. Its at least a strong conviction supported by the source material. ID as a whole is a wishy-washy, "hold onto my faith but not too much" type of belief. Yes the old earth IDer is more scientifically rational but it's essentially a modern reactionary belief. It's basically slipping God in through the backdoor where he simply isn't needed anymore.
If you genuinely believe the Bible is true and everything else is human error, then you can believe in ID without any sort of cognitive dissonance. Other types of IDers have lots and lots of holes to fill.

Yep, and I've filled em'. ID is rock solid. But ONLY for them who so choose.
There is a point wherein subjective preference colors the Objective. Per Quantum Theory. Personal observation...determines/affects the Empirical evidence/Reality.
Believe what you will, RK, and create the Reality in which you then exist. The *evidence* (colored by your personal inclination/bias will be indisputable, for you), but it's both naïve, arrogant and factually incorrect to assume that YOUR subjective version of Reality is the Absolute.
Everything should be on the table. No censorship. Let the folk decide. Some will comprehend E=MC2...some won't. Some will enjoy Love, Beauty and the assurance of Spiritual Truth. Many won't.
Infinite Parallel Universes. "Many mansions" (Biblical). Reap what you sew. Perfect justice; can't blame God for your choice.
I'm reading "The Transhumanist Wager", Rog. There's your ticket to immortality. The Singularity...becons.
