Ok, just a bit of clarification, this kind of thing has come up so much that it warrants its own thread:
Creationists generally claim that their creationism beliefs are scientific and should be taught in science classrooms. Then, when they are asked for any evidence of creationism, they claim that God and the Bible are beyond the scope of science.
Maybe I'm just going crazy, but creationists seem to be simultaneously proposing that creationism is science but doesn't have to be scientifically proven! How very convient! It is essentially trying to acquire the credibility of science without having to undergo the inconvience of the methods of science.
So, Creationists (including IDists), I ask you this:
Can your views be verified scientifically, with empricial data?
If you answered yes, please post said empirical data.
If you answered no, please stop calling it science, because it obviously isn't science.
