I appreciate the tremendous strides science has made. There is no doubt about the benefits to mankind as a result of science.
Having said that, I’ve seen TONS of blogs, forum posts, articles, and court rulings that go far beyond being critical of the ideas behind ID to committing outright ad hominems and cheap, junior high pot shots.

It's tiring to have to repeat yourself over and over and over again. Thus, "That is idiotic, due to X, Y, and Z," gets shortened to, "You're an idiot." If they want to know how their position is idiotic, they can look it up for their damned selves.

What they REALLY fear is that if there is ANY validity to the belief in a creator, they will have to change their sinful lifestyle, recognize an authority, and abandon their god-less worldview.

And I REALLY fear that if there was ANY validity to the belief in state and local governments, I would have to recognize their authority, obey their speed limits, and abandon my governmentless worldview.

Doesn't seem to work. State and local governments fit nicely into my worldview; I believe that they exist; but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna change from my 'sinful' "15 over the limit" lifestyle to a legal, "2 under" one.
