It sounds like philosophy to me Ben, not science. You are perhaps confusing the two. Science is concerned with natural world:

If God exists then surely it is outside of the physical universe?
Also, I don't thin you understand what 'hypothesis' means. In scientific terms, it doesn't mean belief:
"A tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation."
Did they test their hypothesis? Did it become a theory?
People are of course free to believe what they would like. Science is actually evidence based, and ID has none - it is simply an argument from incredulity. |
Please tell us where a Scientific Method has determined that a bacteria has evolved into anything but a bacteria or a fruit fly has evolved into anything but a fruit fly?
The practice of science involves formulating hypothesis that can be tested for falsifiability via observed data. A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis.
Fossil were accumulated and faked, soft t-rex tissues disproved radiomagic dating, punctuated equilibrium was hypothesized to no avail, fruit flies were zapped but to avail, DNA hybridization is racked with fraud because its to no avail. The very fact that the basic tenets of evolution theory changes every decade is enough to expose its faith based pseudoscience.
