As one's knowledge base grows and grows, it will eventually
incorporate
everything into a cohesive understanding.
Science will eventually incorporate everything else - it has to -
to advance, and change some of it's present ideas to a more correct
form.
Revisions will have to be made, which should be done as a matter of
course.

Like history being rewritten as we gain more and more information, so
shall science do the same.

Well I think in some ways established science has spent a lot of time
reacting against religion and has even developed it's own materialistic
athealogogical precepts of faith to the point of becoming a kind of religion
in itself. I think that's a legacy of the 19th century and early 20 century.
But I don't see any reason why science can't move on from that and entertain
theories based around ID. That said IMO ID has nothing to do with literal
interpretation of the book of Genesis or a affirmation of the Biblical God.
In fact as far as I can see far from being at variance with evolution it
enables one to take on a broader conception of evolution and incorporate
things such as panspermia and ancient astronaut theories, which in terms of
religion are the smoking gun, since if proven true would put and end to some
religious ideas forever.
