Also, can you tell me what experiments have been designed and conducted to prove intelligent design might be a fact?

The point of my post is this: theories are not facts. Scientists do not prove theories. They propose them as working models. You can collect all the experimental data you want. It doesn't prove a theory. Experiments do not prove theories. If you don't understand that, you don't understand the nature of science or mathematics.

Have you every taken a physics lab in college? One thing you will learn very quickly is that if you write up your lab report and say that the experimental data you collected proved the theory you were testing, you will most certainly not get an A.

As for scientists, the majority of them simply ignore what theory actually means. As for judges, there is nothing infallible about a judges ruling.

“Have you ever taken a physics lab in college?”

No, but I did work as a laboratory technician at NIH’s Department of Cardiovascular Physiology. This was more than 45 years ago and we were doing basic research on the effect of calcium, potassium and magnesium on the contraction of heart muscle. I can’t say that these experiments proved anything. I can say that today drug companies are using these results to sell a number of popular heart medications. If science has not proved that evolution exists, then why don’t all creationists/intelligent design supporters reject their annual flu shot? So, I repeat my question, what experiments have been conducted proving intelligent design is a fact?
