WTF? You people are killing me. If ID is not recognized by science by the scientific community then it's not. It's just that fucking simple. Why would someone want to argue a fact? That's insanity
And who exactly is this "scientific community." That's right, there's no official "scientific community." The "scientific community" is a large group of people with a few set standards, none of which include unproven theories. In fact, proving or disproving unproven theories is what they do. Now, when you say that the "scientific community" is set on evolution and that's that, you are stating an obvious fallacy, seeing as how this 'community' is made up of millions of people who disagree on anything and everything unproven. They even bet subscriptions of Playboy over whose theories are correct. Now, the majority of scientists who field of study encompasses origin of modern life, evolution is the predominant theory. However, the entire scientific community has not accepted evolution because it is unproven. Therefore, evolution is NOT accepted by the scientific community, just predominant. Intelligent design, an alternative theory, is quickly gaining ground. It is accepted by a large portion of the scientific community, namely those who see too many holes in evolution and those who are religious. It is still not the predominant theory, but has gained more ground on evolution than you know, or at least more than you're willing to admit.
Now, having said that, your statement that it's absolute fact that the scientific community has accepted evolution, but not ID is just like saying that the world is Asian, not White. Sure, the majority of the people on the planet are Asian, but that doesn't make the whole world so. It's also like saying the USMB community voted for Bush, not Kerry. Once again, that may be true of the majority, but not the whole. So stop trying to inflate yourself. You're full of crap.
ID also does not require a spiritual being, just a being or culture that has a great enough understanding of the basic physics and chemistry of life to create organisms as complex as we are. This being or culture need not be spiritual, merely very, very, very, very, very, very smart.
As for your analogy, I feel like I'm having Ray Charles try to describe a sunset to me, and he keeps saying the word "green."
