Theories are general explanation to describe how observed phenonemon occur. They are not a single data point, so they can't be summed up as "fact", but they are founded upon consistent observation, testing and failure of falisification, so they are decidedly more than speculation.
Now, a hypothetical falsification criteria for "Intelligent Design THEORY"?

Who said that theories were fact? Certainly not the post you're replying to.
Have you really made five posts in this thread without the slightest basic grasp of what a scientific theory actually is?
