Although proponents of both young-earth creationism and intelligent design typically show signs of great (and unwarranted) confidence in their viewpoints, when it suits them, some of them will happily say that they are dealing with the same evidence as mainstream science, and it is only their presuppositions (which they assume are correct) and their interpretation (which they assume is equally valid) that differs.

They sound a lot like the viewpoint expressed in this cartoon, which appeared today on the blog Philip K. Dick and Religion:

There are indeed instances where evidence can legitimately be interpreted in more than one way. But there are also instances where all the evidence points consistently in one direction, and when attempts are made to suggest that all interpretations are equally valid, it is not really about interpretation at all, but an attempt to spin the evidence in an attempt at damage control, to try to bolster one’s views in spite of evidence to the contrary.

Creationism is standing on the neck of science, and suggesting that science is out to trip it up.
