Like it or not, ID is science.

IDer: "Irreducible complexity entails a designer. Here is an irreducibly complex object. Its existence means there must be a designer"

Evo: "But your object is not irreducibly complex. Here's a smaller piece of it that fulfils a function"

IDer: "Oh, well, that couldn't have been irreducibly complex then. Here's another object that's irreducibly complex. Its existence means there must be a designer"

Evo: "Nope; see, if you pull two-thirds of it out, it still acts as a transport protein"

IDer: "Well, OK, here's another object..."

I suppose doing an experiment to how much flim-flam the traffic will bear is a science of sorts.

Plurium Interrogationum seems to be the error of choice among ID skeptics.

Barracade yourself with Huxley's monkeys if you wish...
