Re: What other options are there?
Lucy, there is no such thing as a default position in science.
If evolution theory were to be completely dismissed, it wouldnt do anything towards proving ID.
Proponents of ID have to provide evidence of design, evidence beyond personal incredulity.
You probably know Behe and his Irreducible complexity. He did actually try to find a method of proving ID. He failed, since IC was somewhat already covered by evolutionary theory, but he had the idea. Its things like that you have do to prove ID.
The fact that there is no evidence towards ID, dosent lend any credibility towards evolution, evolutionary theories have their own evidence to support the theories.

Re: Science fails
Evolution is not science, it fits in somewhere between finger painting and story telling.
Evolution IS science. And it is even backed up by mountains of evidence.
Evolution is actually a fact, change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms from one generation to the next.
Around this fact, we build a theory explaining the diversity of life on earth. This theory is not just something some biologist pulled out his ass, the theory has been slowly evolving over the past hundred years, as we found more fossils, discovered DNA and so much more
[i][b]Evidence[/i][/b], a word bantered around by you group. Evidence is for jurors. Real science deals with cold hard facts.
And facts can be evidence towards something.
More importantly.. what group? Im not part of any group who banters the word evidence around. Im not an evolutionist, im not a gravitist, im not a theres-no-santa-on-the-nortpolist.
Im just sane.
