	It must make hypotheses that are theoretically testable, even 
if we are not practically able to do so currently.
	Actually, my opinion of ID is that it has made such 
hypotheses, and their predictions where found to be false.

	And my opinion of string theory is that it is mostly somewhat 
mediocre science combined with interesting complex maths, that has 
hung around just because something better hasn't come along yet. 
Maybe that surfer dude with the multi-dimensional object based TOE 
will knock it off its perch, and theoretical physics will be more fun.
