I didn't say I had to be cognizant of them. I said "facts" have to be demonstrable and undeniable, not that they were demonstrated (to me) and undenied (by me).
Please consider my analogies. "If you eat a teaspoonful of potassium cyanide you will die." Both demonstrable and deniable only by fools and democrats.
ID is not a "fact". For that matter, neither is evolution.
Actually small "e" evolution is a fact -- the fact that changes occur from generation to generation.
The Theory of Evolution is a theory which seeks to explain those changes.
