PS: "Intelligent Design" **cough** meets NONE of the established criteria to be labeled as scientific theory.

Bill Nye said something funny about that this morning on the Morning Show on CBS (and Pat Robertson was on there too. Man I hate him!).

He said, paraphrased, 'You can say that my chair is the creator of the universe. That every six seconds it instantly expands out to the size of the whole universe and changes things, then contracts back again so fast that noone can see it'.

A scientific theory is not a statement that, by it's own assertions, cannot ever be proven or disproven.
