ID
As a Christian, I will argue with your premise that ID is to glorify God — rather it is to glorify the Bible.
I think ID is actually creationism in disguise, created in an attempt to sneak creationism back into the schools after the court decisions of the '80s (specifically Aguillard).
It is an attempt to update creation "science" to hide the religious component and add a veneer of science.
ID is also a political movement, rather than a scientific one, because there is no scientific evidence that supports their case.Behe came closest with irreducible complexity, but all of his examples I believe have been falsified.
Welcome!

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: An easy trap to fall into
Do you like to be on the cutting edge of knowledge? The bible has always been years ahead of scientists. It is one of the most advance science books around. In its pages are the answers to the mysteries of life and the invisible laws of the universe.
Cherry-picked propaganda.
How about the "global" flood? That was disproved 200 years ago.
And the "young" earth? That has been disproved for nearly as long.
Cutting edge of knowledge? Perhaps for 1500 BC, but many of us have advanced a great deal since then. And those advances have been particularly rapid since the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the development of modern science--all of which came about because of the attitude that we don't have to kowtow to the local shamans any longer.
Sorry, the cutting edge of knowledge is science.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
