I think it is clear that Bakker is not an ID'er

Bakker's position is quite clearly pro-evolution and anti-ID. So he's certainly against the YEC version of "Bible-believing Christianity".

But the ID movement DOES claim to be doing science. Thus it is clear that Bakker does not agree with them on a fundamental point. Rather he is taking a Christian evolutionist view which would get him roundly condemned from much of the YEC camp as a "compromising Christian".
