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

I have no problem with that statement.

My position is pro-open-mind. All theories of cosmology have weak foundations (scientifically speaking) therefore ALL of them can be defeated with the positions "evolutionists" present - I am arguing for people to keep an open mind - all of the current theories can be shot down. Keep your mind open - I would love to see our "evolutionist" friends spend more time presenting positive statements rather than obsessing on attacking all position that are different than theirs.

The standard model in cosmology exists only because it is rather well-supported by evidence. The Four Pillars of the Standard Cosmology.

In science theories summarize available data, are coherent and are based upon the results of hypotheses testing. A theory in science is not merely a hunch based upon a single observation or experience, but rather the end-product of a lengthy series of investigations on the same topic. In order to qualify for a scientific investigation, ID should first generate hypotheses, test these, analyze the data and proceed again and again, ad nauseum, until a bona fide, full-fledged and heuristic theory can be amassed. Then, and only then, does the fun begin--a theory which generates numerous, related hypotheses, all of which are testable by the scientifc method.

ID has long, long way to go before it can fulfill these criteria. Until that happens, science sees ID as non-existent.
