I think a lot of this has to do with problems with faith, rather than science. A lot of religious folks have difficulty understanding the very definition of faith, IMO. Understandably, people want to try to quantify the things they believe. It makes what they believe more tangible, but in it's own way, messes up (to me anyway) a lot of what being a person of "faith" is supposed to mean.

Some Chrisitian sects (well, my own), while they still waver on it here and there, have reconciled with evolution and are ok with it. Sort of. But again, i guess I see why some folks want to believe ID, but it just makes no sense for it to be taught in science classrooms, IMO.
