Is Intelligent Design Theory A Scientific Theory?

QUESTION: is Intelligent Design Theory a scientific theory? Does it make testable predictions? Is Darwinism a Scientific Theory? Does it make testable predictions?

When analysing science and the concepts and arguments relating to scientific theory, it is important to separate an argument that has its foundations in science and that which sounds scientific but really should be labelled as pseudo-science. The distinction between the two was first analysed by Karl Popper, who viewed scientific theory in terms of testability and falsifiability. By reviewing and analysing arguments for the intelligent design (ID) theory and Darwinism we can deduce whether or not these theories have solid arguments or if they fall under the category of unfalsifiable. Further analysis of the two theories arguments can help us see if they commit any fallacies and have rational arguments.

Scientific theory by definition seeks to explain observed phenomena by stating the causal reasons that led to the event. The central component of the theory must adhere to the principles of

It also provides a wealth of knowledge on the fossil record and changes in organisms over great periods of time. Though much research, timelines have been established to view this change and development of current biological groups from common ancestors. However in this theory there is the idea that it cannot be falsified as we cannot view this record in its entirety and view it in absolute over time. This falsifiability is true only if we cannot test it over time. It is the evidence though that time gives us which allows for further hypothesis and testing. When new fossils are discovered that make a claim against a certain part of the theory – it is revised. The reverse of what we see in ID. Revision of some part of the theory labels it as a good scientific
