I know and many other scientists know that creationism and ID are theories. There's no question about it; you guys put specifics on your defintion of a theory is in order to try and discredit competing theories with your belief of toe. It's similar to trying to define science as only dealing with the natural world. Upon looking at the true dictionary definition of science much more is included. You guys try and change the framework of the debate but it just doesn't work.
There are scientific studies of the existence of a spirit world. One such study is observations of patients who had died and come back to life on the operating table and were able to describe all that took place. Some could even describe an object in the room that the could only have seen if they were hovering above the scene. There are so many other scientific studies of the supernatural and so much evidence for creationism. Toe also has never been falisfied; and I mean macro, not micro evolution. But it is still a theory; although a very poor one.

Not scientific ones.

"There's no question about it; you guys put specifics on your defintion of a theory is in order to try and discredit competing theories with your belief of toe."

There's no question that creationists try to rewrite the definitions used in science because creationism is not science by any definition of the term.

"It's similar to trying to define science as only dealing with the natural world."

Science cannot study anything but the natural world. It is simply incapable of studying untestable claims.

"There are so many other scientific studies of the supernatural and so much evidence for creationism. "

Not surprising that a belief in creationism is easily combined with a belief in *paranormal* studies. Both require an absence of rational ability.

"Toe also has never been falisfied;"

And that's a good thing for the ToE. Why would it be good for a theory to be falsified?

"I think it's fairly obvious that if the multitude of life forms morphed slowly over millions of years into different types that the fossils would show that in large numbers."

They do show just that.
