I was thinking of something else (but of course I can't remember what 
now).  You are correct that ID does try to pretend to be - I guess I'm 
having a problem with "scientific" being combined with "religious belief" 
and that's what led me to say "anti-scientific" - as I see 'religious 
belief' as being antithetical to 'knowledge'.
