Actually IMHO that is what Intelligent Design theory is attempting to do, ground creationist notions in verifiable/falsifiable philosophy and science so it can be presented in a scientific way.

Jury's out on it, the idea may evolve over time. :-)

There's only one way to do science: collect empirical data. Creationism has not done that. Rhetoric (or whatever its called: "Philosophy' or "gounding" or "presenting") at this level--without hard data--is empty and, most importantly, not science.

Creationism seems to be getting the cart before the horse. It will have to seek scientific (empirical) validation before it can present itself as science.
