I did see that comment but it didn't seem he was interpreting the Pope's remarks - I think I see what you're getting at now.

He did overreach in calling IDs the only true scientists, but I think there is value to the idea that persons who support evolution ontologically have faith just as a creationist does.

edit: to wit, I read your post about the idea of "accepting" as opposed to believing, but someone who tends to distrust evolutionary history, such as myself, can also 'accept' the paleontological and geological support of evolution without believing, whereas most scientists would both accept and believe.
