One minute apologist: What is the difference between ID and creationism?
Bobby Conway interviews Jonathan McLatchie on the difference between ID and Creationism.
Thoughts? Would it make a difference to design detection if there were no religious texts as at all? What if they had all disappeared in a barbarian onslaught (as much classical literature did during the Dark Ages)?
Would we ask the same questions?

Other people have also weighed in on this- including John Morris, the president of the Institute for Creation Research:

as to:
Although the fingerprints of Intelligent Design are self-evident all throughout nature, it is, none-the-less, highly doubtful we would even have ‘modern’ science, or even have all the marvels enabled by modern science, if the Bible did not exist.
Sure, some may argue that modern science would have sooner or later have blossomed all by itself without the correct metaphysical view that Christianity provides in order to properly ‘do science’ in the first place, but the fact of the matter is that that argument would be arguing for a hypothetical situation that never actually occurred.
The reality of the situation is that modern science was born only once, and that birth was uniquely within a culture permeated by the Christian worldview that postulated a rational universe that could dare be understood by humans.

Actually, despite how much you may personally hate Christianity for whatever severely misguided reason, it is the scientific evidence itself that denies macro-evolution:
Indeed, the main unanswered question that Darwinists have completely failed to address in any meaningful, forthright, and ‘scientific’ way is a very ‘religion neutral’ question in its basic inquiry. Namely, “Where did the information come from?”:

Give me a break. Or do you include yours truly in that blanket statement? I’m a financial supporter of this website and I post here frequently. And btw sorry for your pain – I was in a lot of pain at certain stages too so I know what you are going through.
Creationism is not just havig a witness. Its figuring out how nature supports evidence for god and nature doesn’t support the opposite or any false clain about origins.
