Evolution really can't be "quantified" either. It's basically a circular argument. "Survival of the fittest" is simply a tautology, which defines "fittest" as that which survives. Nor, after a century of trying, has anyone ever demonstrated that evolution ever occurs, other than intraspecies evolution, which no one questions.

ID and general evolution are both hypotheses, but if you actually look at the literature, the former is much likelier than the latter.

Evolution is defined as change in allele frequency over time. That's quantified and measurable.

LOL, I'd love to see how you quantify that likelihood.
