“You won’t get far in science advocating thunder being caused by gods, nor disease caused by evil spirits.”
STRAWMAN ALERT!!!!
Show me ONE scientist who advocates I.D. who has said anything even remotely close to this.
The facts (circumstantial as they are) that support the concept of evolution don’t come close to being on par with a mathematical certainty like 2+2=4.
Which is worse:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the laws that govern them.
With no cause the universe appeared out of no where for no reason and gave rise to sentient beings who think this is plausible.
sentient beings who are sentient by some sort of random mutation process that accidentally adds information to the genome that in some way is beneficial enough to make the organism survive better than its competitors (others of the same species),
yet for some reason develops a common set of values that just happen to line up with the last 6 commandments of a religion that such a theory is said to debunk,
yet for some reason also, even if these values are “beneficial to survival”, somehow at the same time retain a desire to go against this beneficial drive.
And we’re to believe that the reasoning of the minds developed by this process is correct?
Therefore, according to the ToE, humans evolved into beings who believe in a god who created everything.
The irony.
