"My hypothesis can not be disproven so therefore it also stands as a theory. A theory is only good until it is disproven by counterexample or mathematical counter-proof."

You are not describing a scientific theory. A scientific theory is never proved/disproved in a mathematical sense. There is only evidence for or against. ID is not a scientific theory because there is no way to test it; there is no way to get weighted evidence for or against it. It's simply a gutless choice for people who don't wish to actually do the hard work of real science. It's ignorance standing athwart knowledge and yelling *Stop!*.
