But for those who actually know something about science, the existence of electrons is not understood to be evidence of evolution.

Possibly, but one could easily explain them as a product of evolution and know something about science at the same time. There is no phenomenon that could not be explained as a product of evolution. Does that disqualify evolution as science? No.

There is no observable phenomenon today that could not be explained by intelligent design either. My point is that falsifiability or lack thereof does not establish the scientific nature of any pursuit. Falsifiability is only one of many tools human reason (science) has to work with in gaining knowledge.

Would you please provide the calculations you've use to come up with these "probabilities"?

How does one quantify the amount of matter that is organized and behaves according to predictable laws?

"There is no phenomenon that could not be explained as a product of evolution."

Absolute crappola. Evolution ONLY deals with imperfectly self-replicating organisms. It deals with already existing life, and how this life changes over time and adapts to a changing environment. It has nothing to say about anything else. No matter how much you think it does.

"There is no observable phenomenon today that could not be explained by intelligent design either."

Which is EXACTLY why ID is not testable. Thanks for admitting that.

"My point is that falsifiability or lack thereof does not establish the scientific nature of any pursuit. Falsifiability is only one of many tools human reason (science) has to work with in gaining knowledge."

If you can't test your claim, it can NEVER be science.
