Let's see, you say one is a theory and the other is a theory! Where do you stand on theories? They are just that....theories! Nothing absolute on either count!

Do you know what "theory" means in the context of science?

A "scientific theory" is not the same thing as a "theory". Dr Behe, leading science witness for the *defence* in the Dover trial agreed under oath that ID is not a scientific theory. Therefore the judge has ruled, entirely appropriately, that it should not be taught in science class, which is where scientific theories are taught, not just any old theory.
