Science is about evidence, and evidence is an unavoidably material sort of thing.

It certainly is and natural selection is not observable. Intelligent design however certainly is observable. Just like we can see that a painting had a human maker, we can see design in the Universe. That's why atheists have to propose infinite universes in order to counter the design argument. Life too is obviously intelligently designed that is why atheists cannot even formulate a hypothesis of abiogenesis which fits scientifically known facts. Everywhere we look in science, we see design because after all if we lived in a random universe there could be no scientific laws at all.

Very few things in science are directly observable. When did you last see a continent shift?

Sigh. Apparent design does not demonstrate the existence of a designer. That is only one of any number of equally likely hypotheses that can arise in a fact-vacuum. It only demonstrates the intractable nature of your commitment to fallacies of the the excluded middle.

All present evidence absolutely supports the Copernican model of the solar system. Is that a proof that the Copernican model is primally correct: that it has actual, visceral existence behind it?
