You're saying that all unicorns are pink because nobody has ever observed a unicorn that isn't pink.

There is no "separate form of science," as you claim.
That's the point of the thread. If creationism/ID was science, there would be a whole raft of examples you could give of experiments that they have done already. And yet, none of you even seems to be able to suggest an experiment that could be done to demonstrate creationism/ID.
All creationists ever do is re-interpret data that has been collected by the very scientists that they revile. No experiments = no science.

Just looking at the circles we see a complex pattern, but we do not recognize the pattern as fulfilling any specific purpose.
"Purpose" seems like a highly subjective way of determining whether or not something is designed.

In Conclusion...
Scientists do experiments every day. They do experiments to test the results of other experiments. They do experiments to decide which other experiments might be worthwhile doing.
If creationism was science, you'd think they'd have a backlog of thousands of ideas for experiments just waiting for funding. But no, creation "science" seems to rest on telling scientists that they're wrong about their own experiments. Creationists hardly ever do their own experiments and when they do, they get the same results as science does (e.g. RATE group).
Creationism is about as sterile as it can be when it comes to doing science or even understanding what it means to do science.
