What Tim says below really resonates with me.

What if the notion of God, defined simplistically as a set of processes,
forces, natural laws and observable phenomena that influence(d) our
past, present and future, is what science is devoted to teasing out?
Then science becomes another religion, and the ID/evolution battle
becomes simply another clash in humanity's long history of religious
wars (which were not so much about religion but about land, but that is
beside the point).

From a metaphysical standpoint, science is like any other religion in
that it is how some humans understand their reality. I'd argue it's the
best process humans have devised to date for objectively understanding
our reality, but I'd argue it is still flawed like many of humans'
different metaphysical theories. One of those flaws is a propensity for
dogmatic adherence to preconceived notions and a general disinclination
to consider other ideas. Many of our now celebrated scientists learned
this the hard way in their own times when they became proponents for
ideas radical to their contemporary science.
