ID to them awaits data before they'll give it credence as a viable theory. Until that happens, ID is outside the purvey of science.

That is silly. Unproven theories are NOT outside of the purvey of science. Don't be silly, all theories start "outside the purvey of science"

Unproven theories are NOT outside of the purvey of science.

OK,you just said they weren't outside the purvey of science.

Don't be silly, all theories start "outside the purvey of science"

And here you said they are, so, please which is it?

I hate it when you do this to me, so I try not to do it back, but when you put OPPOSITE opinion in the same sentence, I gotta ask, what the heck are you talking about?

And I will go over this with YOU ONE MORE TIME, we are talking BIOLOGICAL evolution, which does NOT include cosmology, and ID, whcih claims that diversification and the life we see about us, came because GODDIDIT.

A theory that claims that goddidit, WILL NOT replace a theory that does not, UNLESS, A: the theory that does not is somehow disproven, then another theory that doesn't use GODDIDIT, will replace it, or B: we will hav scientific evidence that god does indeed exist.

In the meantime, ANY theory that uses GODDIDIT as an explanation has a place, it is called philosophy, and or religion, UNTIL you can scientifically verify that god exists, then I will allow that they can come into the hard science. Until then, they can stay where they are.

And until ID provdes data that's where it will stay, all silliness aside.
