In order for ID to be science, it needs to offer facts to support its conclusion. Until it does so, saying that it COULD be science if it ever offered testable facts for its hypothesis means nothing.

I can offer a hypothesis that sometime in the future, the physicists will manage time travel, and inadvertently introduce modern microbial life into Earth's ancient past. I don't expect I'll be getting any research grants to study it, though.

The funny thing is that evolution would work with that hypothesis.

But a hypothesis sounds all “scientific” when it’s nothing more than a suggested explanation or even a conclusion, which then needs to be evaluated, tested, verified, before it can be considered a fact.

ID is indeed a hypothesis. That I am 200 times smarter than anyone who ever lived on the planet is a hypothesis. I’ll offer the posts I’ve made here at FR, except for the ones when I had been imbibing, or mad, or just wrong, as strong evidence of my hypothesis.

I’ve just offered more evidence than ID proponents have offered for theirs.
