Hello Yodel Elf! Long time no see...
The equation is very simple:
Science is defined by prediction, falsification,data, etc...
Thousands of scientists are working every day in labs to push further the actual knowledge about the origins of life. Every day, new datas are collected, dissected, cross-examined...
Sure, we don't have the final answer yet, but we're working on it. Maybe there will never be a final answer, but this doesn't mean that ID is right.
So, if scientists worldwide experiment on abiogenesis and such, wath are the ID guys doing?
Could you ever reproduce an "intelligent design" as it is understood in ID "theory" (scare quotes intended)?
Since you postulate that this "design" is somehow divine, I think you won't be able to.
And that's where ID fails as science. If you change the scientific method to accept ID, then you will have to accept a lot more that you maybe don't want to hear about.
What would be your reaction if in the end some "creation scientists" come out with better "theories" than yours and end up claiming all is according to the Norse mythology?
Would you accept it?
No.
This is why ID is not science and doesn't belong in science classes!
Anyway, what does abiogenesis have to do with ToE?
Sorry all, pushed a bit on the Guiness and Sicilian wine...
