"Intelligent Design is on the borderline between theory and law.

Between theory and law? You mean you have come up with a completely new and separate category? You are important.

Just for your edification, theories do not graduate to laws, the two serve different purposes.

Coyoteman just explained to me this difference between theory and law. He said a law is a generalization based on observation and can stand on its own. A theory starts from a well thought-out hypothesis and after testing and retesting it may become a theory. I hope I'm not misquoting him.
