It's political rhetoric on both sides, and regardless of what either side righteously claims via ideologically distorted science that either, willfully ignores evidence that appears to support the creationists position, or, on the other side of the coin, wrongly leaps to the conclusion that evidence that can indicate that there is higher purpose in nature, necessarily requires an intelligent agency.
This culture war will never end, and nobody on either side of the debate ever modifies their position. It's always a matter of who has the vote and scientists are not even close to being immune from the influence of their ideological belief systems.
Evolutionary theory suffers equally from the adverse effects of both sides, as does physics and cosmology, and in spite of much theoretical righteousness from the left.
