"Bare facts and "random bits of information" are not synonymous, but both can be scientific."

I did not say they were. I said that without collecting, analyzing and interpreting the 'facts' within a theoretical framework the 'facts' are nothing but random bits of information.

It sounds like you think science is nothing but the collection of 'random bits of information'.

Science is greater than testable, or falsifiable claims. Testability ands faslsifiability are not the only attributes that cause something to be scientific. Indeed, something can be scientifically true and accurate without being either testable or falsifiable. Obviously those who would like to hold ID up to their own idea of a scientific standard are disappointed in this truth, but it is a truth they must face nonetheless.
