Neither ID nor Evolution is science

The process of science is like this: first samples of observations, or empirical evidence are collected. A hypothesis is then set in order to make sense about these observations. The next step is to design experiments are to test that hypothesis. Depending on the test results, the hypothesis will be either rejected, accepted, or modified. If a hypothesis is correct, it should have predicting power. Only after the hypothesis is tested to be correct through experiements, can it be accepted as science.

Intelligent Design (ID) is a very reasonable postulation about the origin of life. It may be true, and in fact I strongly believe it is true, but it is not science, because it can never be tested, repeated or verified through experimentation. So it does not belong to science.

Evolution is also a reasonable hypothesis about the origin of life, based on a lot of observations. However, the hypothesis of evolution has yet to be tested in experiments., or attempts to do so have so far failed. In early days, there were attempts to design experiments to repeat the "natural" process of producing organic materials from inorganic elements. But those experiments were not inconclusive about whether there were natural conditions in which inorganic elements can "evolve" into organic materials, which make up all living things.

As to the question how life was formed, proponents of evolution theory have never been able to show in experiments that certain "natural" conditions exist to produce life out of lifeless materials. These experiments were never attempted, and may never be done.

Empirical evidence does not support evolution, either. If evolution is at work, why we are not seeing any new species (new living organisms) evolving from less "advanced" species. Not only we are not seeing new species springing up, we are in fact are seeing existing species dying out!

To reconcile this, some evolutionists (smarter ones) proposed yet another hypothesis, so called "punctuated" evolution. They argue evolution happened only during certain periods of time throughout the history. It does not occur continuously or gradually. So we should not be surprised that TODAY, RIGHT NOW, we are not seeing any evidence of evolution. This argument sounds no different from the argument that God created the world in 6 days and then everything was set. Neither can be verified by experiments.

So if you honestly investigate the facts about evolution theory, not just dwelling on the superficial level (majority of the people, scientists included, are on this superficial level), you will find out evolution does not stand the rigorous test as a scientific theory. It is still a hypothesis, or speculation, which has yet to be proved or dis-proved with experimentation. Until one day scientists can create a condition in which new life can be produced, evolution remains a hypothesis, no different from ID.
