How not to prove something: For instance GOD may have made the sky blue because of water vapor but he tricks you into thinking it is blue do to light refracting in the atmosphere. You think you know the right answer but only because GOD has created the world to fool you. My explanation the same as your explanation of ID versus evolution. GOD has created all this evidence that evolutionary process is real, but it is all a trick. ID is true and is so by default because GOD made it so.
You claim water makes the sky blue is provable, I.E. something that can be proven. I am saying to do this you must be able to gather evidence that it is right or wrong and then chose which process is the best explanation for a phenomenon. In other words your may create a question that can be proven true or false and then declare it unlikely to be the best explanation for being false. Or you can just declare it is true by default and say god did it. So you ARE WRONG if you think provable things can only be TRUE. I am right to say claiming something is provable means you can test its validity. My oldest sibling is a woman. This can be proven true or false. It is a statement that can be proven. This turns out to be false. You probably won't accept you are wrong on this point but... I'm not sure what more I can say. You obviously care a lot about this subject but you should at least understand the basics to discuss this.
