However, ID is NOT a defined scientific theory

String theory and the Big Bang are no more easily verified.

Simply asking if not ID, then what organized the universe? is a scientific question, avoided by science because of it's implications.

Stop the nonsense and trying to twist things.

Scientific theories are validated by empirical testing against physical observations. Theories are not judged simply by their logical compatibility with the available data. Independent empirical testability is the hallmark of science—in science, an explanation must not only be compatible with the observed data, it must also be testable. By "testable" we mean that the hypothesis makes predictions about what observable evidence would be consistent and what would be incompatible with the hypothesis.*

As I indicated before, ID, at best is for the religious classroom and NOT the science classroom.

In abscence of evidence for any explanations, "I don't know" is the most honest response.

is a scientific question, avoided by science because of it's implications.

No, it's simply not addressed because thus far there is no objective evidence for any explanation.
