You folks who dismiss ID as science rejecting are not very well informed. In fact, ID supporters assert that it is established science...
Please, lets keep this argument fair...

Okay...

Mere assertion does not "establish" science. Science is, mostly, a method of inquiry, and certainly not a collection of assertions. What science does require, on a prima facie basis, is that objectivity and empiricism prevail.

Okay.

Yes an assertion does need to be backed up with evidence and or logical reasoning. ID does quite well with that. Again, read Johnson's book. Evolustionists typically dismiss ID without giving it much thought....now that isn't scientific thinking either...its just ignorance.

"Science is, mostly, a method of inquiry..."

In simpler terms, wouldn't it be better to say:

"Science is, mostly, a search for causes ..."

After all, ToE folks have found the 'cause', natural selection, which 'caused' the first living thing to end up as our common ancestor....

ID folks look for causes too....;
