2. ID is cruder form of superstition than bible study
To study the texts of revealed religion is an advanced form of superstition that developed in the context of early civilizations.

The attribution of personal agency to natural phenomena is pure primitive superstition in its crudest form. The whole ID moniker is a fancy high-falutin way of making the 'there is wind - that is the spirit of the wind god'; 'there is fire - the spirit of the fire god'; mentality seem more palatable and less like the gibberish of prehistoric man.

Now that ID is a transparent trojan-horse for the Radical Dominionist Conservative Christian Religious Reich Neo-Fascist Theocratic agenda goes pretty much without saying. I'm just saying that if you stop and look at ID, it's just a very flimsily disguised version of the superstition of the most primitive savages.
