This is the error in thinking that gives rise to nonsense like ID (not to mention homeopathy, crystals, and the rest of it), the notion that scientific and other ideas are equally valid. There is a scientific method that seeks to prove - or where that is not possible disprove - theories to test them. The scientific theories that survive this process are therefore likely to be correct.
