ID'ers can still think outside the soup, unlike Evolutionists.

The Origin of Life remains a theory.

ID does as good a job as Panspermia, the notion that life on earth came from outer space. That just outsources the Origin of Life question - a cheap stunt.

I have no problem with evolution being the process by which life expanded on earth - none at all.

I have a problem denouncing a theory when science has no proof whatsoever to the contrary.

Therein lies the problem. Scientific theories must be potentially disprovable. ID cannot be potentially disproved. Try and think of just one thing that if found would disprove ID. You will discover that no such thing can possibly exist. An Intelligent Designer be used to explain anything we find. That makes it far to vague an expaination for what we do find.

This is incorrect. There is no explanation regarding the origin of the first life forms that rises to the level of "theory".

ID does as good a job as Panspermia, the notion that life on earth came from outer space. That just outsources the Origin of Life question - a cheap stunt.

So you are admitting that ID is a "cheap stunt"?

I have a problem denouncing a theory when science has no proof whatsoever to the contrary.

This is a good position, however it is not applicable to ID. ID fails to meet the qualifications to be labelled "theory".
