When did I claim that the theory of evolution is "established fact"?

Then are you saying that you believe the theory of evolution is the most likely possibility based upon the evidences that you see? Is that your view?

Thus far, however, there exists absolutely no reason to believe that "intelligent design" is a credible explanation.

How can a black hole suck in all matter and where does it go? How can the universe expand if the universe by definition, is the "universe"? These are retorical questions so please don't ask me to prove them. There are lots of things in this universe for which there are no credible explanations. When I was a youngster they told me nothing could go faster than the speed of light. Now they're saying that may not be true.

I wouldn't dismiss things that have no credible explanation. That is often the way science advances.

I did not state that science does not attempt to define "life". I stated that science does not define whether a collection of living cells is "a human being" or "a collection of living cells". You are attempting to exchange definitions of a term. That is a logical fallacy.

Before you can move to a "human being" you have to know what is life? If you have a definition what is it? Don't you think it would be good to know if pulling a fetus out of the womb and crushing it's scull constitute life?

Yes. This is no different than any other scientific claim.

How can a black hole suck in all matter and where does it go?

A black hole does not exactly "suck" matter in. A black hole is an extremely dense collapsed star producing such a strong gravitational pull that anything near it, including light, "falls" inside. The matter falls toward the singularity, though where the matter goes exactly is not entirely determined, and likely depends upon whether or not the singularity is spinning. For a spinning singularity, the matter will likely collide, but it is not known what will happen to matter reaching a point where spacetime curvature is infinite. A spinning singularity could potentially eject matter out the other side. I fail to understand how this relates to intelligent design.

How can the universe expand if the universe by definition, is the "universe"?

Your question makes little sense. The expansion of the universe is the increase in the total amount of "space". More specifically, it is a conutinual increase of the distance between matter in the universe.

These are retorical questions so please don't ask me to prove them

What would I ask you to prove? Your questions have well-understood answers.

There are lots of things in this universe for which there are no credible explanations.

Please provide an example of such a "thing".

When I was a youngster they told me nothing could go faster than the speed of light. Now they're saying that may not be true.

When were you told this? Please provide a reference.

Unless evidence exists for a claim, there is no reason to consider it. How can a claim for which there exists no means of testing be evaluated?

Before you can move to a "human being" you have to know what is life? If you have a definition what is it? Don't you think it would be good to know if pulling a fetus out of the womb and crushing it's scull constitute life?

You are again missing my point. The dispute regarding abortion is not over what constitutes "life" in individual cells. The debate, which is not a scientific dispute, is the physical characteristics required for a specific configuration of cells to be called a "human being".
