"It *could* be a valid field of science someday, at least in principle."
I've been reading and seeing a lot about it and one 'hypothesis' is that life is based on a mathimatical principal.
Which makes me wonder if an exact formula were found that explained life, would that be a basis for ID?
Probably not, since "mathematical principles" arise naturally in many situations, they don't have to be "preprogrammed in".
