I reject the notion that science's definition of theory is unique. While pedestrian usage may warp not always correspond the definition is what it is. One of the redoubts of elitists is the cooption of terms. There is no distinction between a "scientific theory" and "theory."

Well it seems that Behe and Scott have squared off in PA(?) and have both agreed that ID is testable, or perhaps evo is testable, with the proposed test being a 2 year, 10000 generation study of bacteria without a flagellum to see if they can be coerced into developing one. Any takers?

Of course both our heroes pointed out the fallback positions of their opponents should the bacteria grow tails or not. :)
