Intelligent Design is not creationism

Driving down the road is just as much a "movie" -- relative to Reality -- as the movie on the DVD player. Both are illusions, therefore they can clash. Rule of thumb: Any road you can see with the "eyes" of a body is not the Truth. If you see a semi in the oncoming lane, it is not the Truth. Since your Volkswagen is not the Truth either, I recommend staying in your own lane till you know the Truth.
Kids don't try this at home.

"explanations"? dunno about that... in any event, a given scientific theory doesn't need to concern itself with alternative scientific theories... insofar as the theory is not contradicted by direct observational evidence, the "proof" resides in falsifiable predictions and relevant experiments

Idiotic. It is not up to us to say 'what test would rule out ID'. It is up to proponents of ID to provide one shred of proof for their theories, something that they have colossally failed to do here, after being asked about 30 times by my count. This is odd, as the whole basis for ID is that it is a scientifically provable theory. Yes, I know, the ID'ers here are obsessed with denigrating the scientific method, even though they are promoting a theory that is scientifically provable. When asked to explain this apparent contradiction, they turtle or stop posting for a few hours.
The whole point of the whole thing is that ID is faith-based and not falsifiable. Therefore it is unscientific. Therefore it is not a theory, but a belief.
btw... here's more proof that Z is Teleologist. Both aliases started down the same road at the same time, that is, claiming that it is up to us to say how we would go about proving or disproving ID (a bizarre idea if there ever was one - start promoting a theory and then call on your opponents to disprove it).
