What makes something a science? There are many different views on this, but I find that best logical view of science is this:
For a theory to be scientific, it must have the ability to be falsified. Verificationism strictly uses induction, which is not logically sound, especially compared to deduction, which is central to falsificationism.
Earlier in the thread somebody said "Well Jesus lived! That's proof of god!"
Whether or not Jesus lived is irrelevant to any scientific discussion regarding ID. For ID to be considered a science, it must have the ability to be falsified. Does it?
Of course not. God created the universe. How in the world can this be falsified? What scientific tests can you use to disprove this?
Intelligent design and science should never be mentioned in the same sentence.
