I'm no scientist.

That is hardly surprising, given that you seem to think that ID is a scientific theory.

If you are, you can formulate these answers/questions, yourself.

Why should I? I'm not the one who claims that ID is a theory.

My dictionary defines science as the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation and THEORETICAL EXPLANATION of phenomena.

An incomplete definition, then, as it does not mention that it only relates to the natural world.

Also says theory and hypothesis are synonyms.

Get a new dictionary. A hypothesis is basically an "educated guess", speculation based upon known physical properties and given circumstances. A theory arises when a hypothesis has been tested sufficiently.

There are a great many theories/hypotheses that have been formulated which will forever be irrefutable because they are beyond physical observation

If they are irrefutable, then they are not theories. They might be hypothesis, but they are not theories. Theories must, by definition, be falsifiable.

Not only is it a scientific theory, it is a proven scientific theory. Scientists agree that the universe, life and the bacterial flagellum were intelligently designed.
