Obviously.
"This is a political forum, so words do not have to conform to "scientific standards"..."
They do when you are trying to discuss a scientific theory.
"When I use the word theory, that is the definition I am attaching to your belief system."
Then you are misusing the word, deliberately.

How am I misusing the word?? It is part of the definition?? You just do not want to admit that your theory is a belief, because if you did, your argument against creationism would be invalid and either none of it would be taught in schools, or all of it would have to be.
Go read
A Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel. Quite a good read.

Funny, that's just what the school board said about science classes and ID.
That's a shocking admission. Thank you for your honesty.
It's a sad state of affairs when someone who calls himself a conservative actually admits that he wants political considerations to take precedence over accuracy in science. That's why I've been saying that ID is nothing more than warmed-over PC - trying to make science conform to a political agenda, regardless of the scientific merits of the agenda.
