In fact, ID is built on Faith and so

I suppose by that you mean that Science is based on faith in the
scientific method. On that point I have no issue.
However, the scientific method pwer se, is based on doubt.
And the assumption of the sufficiency of Reason itself.
No. At best, that is only true for those scientists who believe
(as a matter of Faith) in the sufficiency of Science itself.
The sufficiency of Reason, with respect to Science follows
directly from the definition of Science. An understanding
that is beyond Reason, is beyond Scinece. Certainly one may
define a discipline that includes Science and considerations
outside of Reason, but to avoid confusion that other dscipline
should be called by a name other than 'Science'. Or, if one
insists on thus redefining 'Science' then one should assign a
new name to the old discipline.
Personally, I think that to combine science with metaphysics
is less useful than to combine woodworking with politics.
