Right now science can't outright refute creationism or intelligent design

Science will never be able to disprove creationism, just the same as it cannot disprove the Russell's Celestial Tea Pot, Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, Zeus, or Thor. Anyone that sees science's inability to disprove god is worshiping a god of gaps.
Dawkins can come as a zealot, but it's due to a double standard people have; If Dawkins' current tone was applied to politics, debate between Linux or Windows, etc, no one would call him a zealot. People are just pissed that Dawkins is blunt when he says "this is
your faith, do not expect me to treat it the way you choose to"... that he is rocking the boat on something that cannot rationally defend itself but has grown dear to so many.
