One of the basic flaws of science is confusing an answer with a best guess. A best guess is not an answer. Science does not know the answer of the beginning of life, and evolution is still just a best guess based on imperfect information, which never rises to an answer.
Ahhhh, and this is the essence of the whole issue. If this were the reasonable appraoch that the adherents to evolution took, and if they accepted intelligent design as an alternate guess, there would never be an issue. My experience is that evolutionists do not have this healthy perspective, instead theirs is nothing but blind, zealous, almost fanatical religious faith. They are blind to the fact that evolution is a theory and not "settled science."
The fact that evolutionists routinely decry intelligent design proves that they have no concept of science. Science, as you note, puts forth theories and then begins to evaluate those theories. Evolutionists can not tolerate the theory of intelligent design because if it is a more tenable theory, then it is diametrically opposed to evolution and evolution collapses. But then again, real science accepts this and gains knowledge. Zealous secular fundamentalist beliefs do not.
Evolution is proving to be the opiate of the atheists.
Insisting evolution is true and intelligent design is not has nothing to do with science, it is pure, unadulterated fundamentalist belief. It is supposition without science.
