Sure! The section about Protestantism in the article describes this pretty well, I thought. I definitely agree with you, although since ID is generally regarded as an idea contrary to evolution, I would use that term differently or use a different term. (To Capitalize or Not to Capitalize? ID Theory vs. BioLogos ) Reading what we have of the evolutionary story reveals some sort of purpose, full of creativity and the passing on of material for life. This is definitely one of the cognitive hangups, having a new term to define our ideas and experiences. It’s a big step to go from “For God, all things are possible except evolution,” to “God is creating life by using evolution.”
