well the thing is lance, sometimes i think the scientific community becomes too dogmatic that they forget their initial assumptions...
funnily enough, apparently the religious community is also mistaken by thinking that evolution negates creation;
no matter how true evolution is, and even if Urey-Miller were right on target, they still can't negate the possibility that a divine being of some sort created it all in the first place...

due note that that "divine being" may be different from the zoroastrian, christian, jewish, islam, etc conceptions...

the thing why i always stress how inherently incapable man is to actually "know" anything is that because even when religions use "god" as a divine justification, they usually apply an "untouchable" characteristic to that divine being, rendering them unreachable from the realms of man...

we never knew anything, we don't know anything, and we will never know anything...

One thing I'd like to mention is that intelligent design does not mean religious creation. Though a religious person typically believes in intelligent design, a person that believes in intelligent design does not have to be religious.

The main reason the religious community believes that evolution negates creation, is because using the example of the bible, it says that God created all creation in 6 days. Created light/darkness in one day, created night and day in one day, created heavens and the earth in one day, people in one day. There wasn't millions and millions of years between these in order for all life to evolve. The bible says one week, six days and one for God to rest.

An interesting movie to watch is http://www.expelledthemovie.com/ Expelled: No intelligence allowed, with Ben Stein.
