Maybe in the case of ID, those same religious people simply cannot wrap their brains around the scope of nature's abilities. They are limited by their belief that anything remotely complex has to have had a designer.

And then there are those that believe in science (which i do as well), believe in logic and statistics; yet turn around with numbers that support a statistical improbability, and claim it's more probable. 

Purely speculative point here so feel free to ignore it as it has no real merit as of yet...but it would be interesting to see non-believers reactions if the scientific community at large were to come out and say, "you know what, an un-quantifiable god aside, the numbers simply don't add up to natural selection. 'Something or someone' has caused this". I'm pretty sure my reaction would be, "hmm. not surprising".
