Default Stop With This \"ID isn\'t Science\" Crap

I don't know if it is because I am a professional poker player or a college dropout that I think this way, but I get very irritated when evolutionists say that ID should be taught only in philosphy courses because if "it isn't falsifiable it isn't science". Nonsense. The only good reason it shouldn't be taught is if it is very unlikely to be true. Which is apparently the case.

But if evidence suggested otherwise, (for instance a group of super intelligent beings made up only of gold and argon who spoke their own language came spewing out of Mt. Helens with the story that they were created by Andy Fox), it would be mathematically and probablistically wrong to claim that these beings were more likely to have been evolved than created by AF. Science has no right to choose the less likely explanation even if probability, rather than experimental evidence is the basis for the other answer.
