"There is no phenomenon that could not be explained as a product of evolution."

Absolute crappola. Evolution ONLY deals with imperfectly self-replicating organisms. It deals with already existing life, and how this life changes over time and adapts to a changing environment. It has nothing to say about anything else. No matter how much you think it does.

"There is no observable phenomenon today that could not be explained by intelligent design either."

Which is EXACTLY why ID is not testable. Thanks for admitting that.

"My point is that falsifiability or lack thereof does not establish the scientific nature of any pursuit. Falsifiability is only one of many tools human reason (science) has to work with in gaining knowledge."

If you can't test your claim, it can NEVER be science.

Chill, dude. Evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form. It may apply to biology of course, but that is hardly all that can be explained by evolution. Everything can. Everything can be explained without God, too. Does that make such an approach more "scientific?" No. No matter how much you thnk it does.

If you can't test your claim, it can NEVER be science.

And the claim that God is always and forever outside of science cannot be tested, so such a claim can never be science, or scientific. You dig?
