A Under my definition, a scientific theory is a proposed explanation which focuses or points to physical, observable data and logical inferences. There are many things throughout the history of science which we now think to be incorrect which nonetheless would fit that -- which would fit that definition. Yes, astrology is in fact one, and so is the ether theory of the propagation of light, and many other -- many other theories as well.

The fundamental problem with Behe's definition of science is that it removes the necessity of falsifiablity from the process. He removes the requirement that a scientific theory present some testable criteria. Under his umbrella, all theories are valid, even if they have been seriously refuted. In other words, a theory is still scientifically valid even if it has be falsified by testing and/or evidence. That is not the science we operate under today.

We all know that geologists, archaeologists and paleontologists have time machines to test them for falsification.
