How many times have we heard that intelligent design theory isn't science simply because it allows for the possibility of a God, so it's religion?

Intelligent Design isn't science because it proposes no testable hypotheses, has no research agends, and has no predictions that could, even in principal, be falsified by evidence.

It is as if police, coming upon a case they can't solve with current procedures, declare that aliens did it.

"Intelligent Design isn't science because it... has no predictions that could, even in principal, be falsified by evidence."

Perhaps, if you assume that ID can exist absent any relationship to The Bible and Creationism, that statement could possibly be true.

I, on the other hand, we acknowledge that Intelligent Design, Creationism, and The Bible are all inextricably connected to each other, there is much imperical evidence that predictions therein made are both provable and, in fact, indisputable.

The Bible is rife with predictions, many of which were made over 2,000 years ago, and which refer with great specificity to our current historical timeframe, referred to in Bible-speak as the "latter days" or "end times".

Among the specifically-alluded-to signs defining our current timeframe as the Biblical "latter days" or "end times" prophecies are the following:

These times will be marked by:

1... a re-emergence of the previously disbanded Nation-State of Israel

2... a period when news of Israel will dominate weekly world news, during which the re-established Israel will "hang like a large stone around the neck of the world..."

3... a period when men will be racing to and fro across the face of the planet at a rapid pace

4... a period where Israel will be surrounded on all sides by sworn enemies

5... a period where there will not only be many who do reprobate things, but during which the masses will applaud the reprobates

6... a period when the greatest army in the world will not only have members who are "as women" (woman-like...), but will aslo have members who are women

7... a period when there is a push for the re-unification of the old Roman Empire

For so many prophecies (and I've barely scratched the surface with those listed here...) to have been made so long ago, and for all of them to come true in the same historical epoch, simply defies any and all statistical probability as some sort of hoax or clever guesswork.

The Truth of God, the Creator, and of his perfect Word, is undeniable, and is only hidden from those who refuse to see His Glory.
