What ID has done is demonstrated that the ToE has significant problems...it was a criticism of weaknesses in ToE.

What real theory in science has ever been about another theory being wrong? So much so that it is little more than a grab-bag of screeches against that other theory?

A real theory has something to say directly about how the world works. It's not just about what doesn't happen but what does. But, somehow, ID has to beg off on being "that kind of a theory." It refuses to be held to such a standard and asks for a change in the rules.

ID is more a wedge, less a theory.

From listening to the judge on Fox, it seems that part of the theory is that there is a cause and affect nature to ID. It is just that the ultimate cause in unknown.

Seems to me that is as good a theory as the Big Bang.

ID is a criticism of evolution.
