Science is not science unless it can be wrong.

Stories cannot be wrong, they can only be bad.

A scientist invests in a position, a hyposthesis, only to find it's garbage. Hence, "cruel." Which is why, in some cases, you have to be careful of what a scientist says. His hypothesis is sometimes his baby and he wants to protect it. That's why reproducibilty is so important.

" Science is not science unless it can be wrong."

Evolution and all the other sciences you disparaged can be wrong. ID is untestable. It can't ever be wrong, because any conceivable observation can be reconciled with it. Not so with evolution. Your ignorance of the subject does not change that fact.

" Stories cannot be wrong, they can only be bad."

Sure they can be wrong. I can make up a story about a paranoid woman who was jilted by an astronaut and who now has lost it and will attack anything remotely related to science. Oh wait, that one is true. Nevermind. :)
