Since "evolution" cannot be proven by scientific experimentation at present, only observed through nature

Nothing in science is ever proven. No theory will ever be proven.

And "Intelligent Design" cannot be observed at present, though proven by our race's own scientific use of genetics. Both will remain theories for the foreseeable future.

Intelligent Design lacks the characteristics required for scientific theory. Evolution is a theory, and there's nothing else that it can become. Theories do not "graduate" into some higher state.

The End...I'm not arguing any more about this.

Typical. Proclaim your ignorance as if it were fact, then run away like a coward so you don't have to look at your position being exposed as faulty.

"Nothing in science is ever proven. No theory will ever be proven."

- Right...and there is an actual equation that states if I run at a brick wall, what the probability would be that I'd pass right through. Give me a break. A fact or law is about as close to absolute as you can get...though not 100% since that is not “theoretically” possible. Theoretically true. Practically un-true.

"Intelligent Design lacks the characteristics required for scientific theory. Evolution is a theory, and there's nothing else that it can become. Theories do not "graduate" into some higher state."

- In your opinion...and people thought the world was flat a few hundred years ago... your point means nothing.

"Typical. Proclaim your ignorance as if it were fact, then run away like a coward so you don't have to look at your position being exposed as faulty."

- I've already provided my points and basis for my arguments...you have not refuted any of them...just rehashed the same lame arguments. Grow up and open your mind instead of being dogged by dogma. Its people like you that burned women, convinced they were witches. You can believe anything you want. You can have your own opinions. My opinion is that discounting ID is like someone insisting that the world is flat and throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater. I’ve heard your lame arguments and in fact agree in some level with evolution as PART of the story…just not the WHOLE story. So believe what you want because I really could care less.

As far as telling me that I’m a coward…well it’s easy to say that on the computer than to directly to my face...the mark of an even greater coward.

"Evolution is a theory, and there's nothing else that it can become"

= Wrong again. Evolution is certainly a theory, but it may yet still be proven as fact or part fact. It would require constant observation of a subject over a very long period of time without the presence of the observer known to the observed. By documenting the physiological changes backed up with physical evidence, evolution can be proven as fact...but since it would pertain to the fundamental understanding of how life manages itself in the universe, would most like become law. And since there is nothing of absoluteness in theory it will never be stated as such…just the practical side of the data will win most arguments…like not being able to walk through brick walls.
