But NOTHING can be unequivocably proven. To have proven something implies that the theory holds true in all cases and all situations. This in itself implies a "continuity" of reality that something that is real to you is real to all. But reality is not hard and fast as it is affected tremendously by the social construct of the observing person. Social constructs are affected by not only by curriculum but by upbringing and spiritual beliefs.
The opportunity here is that intelligent design proponents are not offering a theory, they are offering a belief. There is no testing or experimentation of it. One must simply trust and accept the idea. All answers to questions posed are "The designer meant that to happen" or " That is the way it was designed.".
