"Well, that's my point. As others (on the pro-evo side) have said on this thread, absolute proof is pretty much found only in mathematical theorems. Everything else is just a matter of probability."

But we don't just accept a theory because it MAY be plausible, we have to TEST it. We need evidence. ID can't can't do that. We believe the ToE is the best theory available because it makes plausible statements that we can test, have tested, and the evidence supports.

Plausible? How about highly probable to the point of being virtually certain? Again, there was no serious doubt that the cuneiform tablets we've found were artifically created, prior to our being able to understand what was written on them.
