Finally, they are labeling it for what it is!
Okay, for those who don't get it, here is the deal. ID supporters call evolution just a theory and ID is another theory and should be given just as much credibility. ID is simply creationism without naming the deity who did the creating. They did this to get past the separation of church and state laws and get creationist ideas taught in school science classes. Science is a method to find truth in the natural world. It is a method that weeds out ideas for which there is no evidence. It involves a hypothesis, experimentation, observation, documenting the results, and must be able to be repeated. Now, ID supporters play on the average person's stupidity using the word theory. What they SHOULD use is hypothesis for what they mean to say. But they can't. A hypothesis is simply a statement of an idea about how something works or an observation. A hypothesis would be: The sky is green. Okay, so experiment and go outside and see if the sky is really green. Not green, is it? So you document your finding and others can repeat your experiment. You find that the sky is blue. Others can read your work and verify that the sky is really blue.
Now a THEORY is a hypothesis that has been experimented upon, supported with evidence, and results verified, over and over again. Can you call ID a theory? Fuck no! It's not science! ID is simply a hypothesis with NO EVIDENCE and cannot be observed! It is a hypothesis!
Is evolution a theory! Yes! That is science. It has been observed, documented, and there are tons of evidence to support it.
So why not call it a law? Well, a law has to be proven to be correct in all cases. Like the Newton's laws of gravity or motion. Proofs have been written for those that prove the theory for all cases of possibility. So if evolution is the answer then why not call it a law? Well, the term law isn't thrown around easily. Many of the "laws" of science have mathematical proofs or other kinds of proofs. I'm not good at explaining it so if you need further clarification of what constitutes a law of science, expand your mind and read a book about it. But the point is the term law isn't given to many things. Some are trying to give evolution law status, but it is not easy. A true scientific theory must be supported by evidence of some kind, observable, and able to be reproduced. You can basically substitute the word "fact" for theory in most cases to get a clearer picture. ID has no evidence, no observation. It is not, therefore, a scientific theory. It is a hypothesis, just like saying the sky is green.
