There is just as much data and maybe even more to support ID, as the big bang. Everything could not have come from nothing, it is impossible does not occur today and never will.

In 1987 a U.S. court of law ruled creationism / Inteligent design to be religion, not science, since then I.D. have not come up with any argument or discovery that could change that verdict.

Atheism is living without fear of the supernatural, and thus less scary than theism. And who says the universe isn't teleological, even without a god? We (all of us that choose to seriously think about it instead of burying our heads in prefabricated religion) are only beginning to uncover the secrets of causality, why events are connected. Modern science would not be possible in a purely Christian world, without a deeper understanding than the idea that everything is simply connected to god.
