Scientific theory is data-driven, and it eventually changes as the data demand; scientific theory has no claim to be taken seriously independent of the data it purports to explain. The creationist-ID account is completely different, remaining the same irrespective of whatever new data might come to light; it explains everything and anything by exactly the same theory. Creationist theory is not data-driven, but exists independently of data. That means that it is factually empty and impervious to falsification. No creationist will specify any set of observations that would cause him to discard his explanatory theory. Creationism-ID is not only not science, it’s antithetical to science. That such a thoroughly dogmatic view should be attacking science on grounds of dogmatism is entirely bizarre and entirely backwards.
