Faith, not science
John 10:10 writes
ID is and always will be the most logically reasonable explanation why the ToE is folly.
My emphasis.
The fact that you can claim that any theory "will always be the most logically reasonable explanation" demonstrates definitively that you are not basing your position on science. Science is about coming to conclusions based on evidence. Since nobody knows what evidence will be collected tomorrow, nobody can say that any scientific theory will always be the best.
You have shown that your reverence of ID is not based on evidence, but faith.

Wow, I think that's a magnificent point, Chiroptera.
All creos are deeply committed to the idea that there is a loving god that created the universe and now watches over us all. Given that bedrock, unassailable premise, it's almost impossible for them to understand how such a being would start with a barren rock and wait through billions of years of death of billions upon billions of life forms just to get to the pinnacle of his creation, a primate that walks upright but frequently suffers from low back problems due to poor design. Because they cannot conceive of any reason for such a bizzare plan, they are going to find same way to dismiss or discount any evidence that that is in fact exactly what happened.
