Yes. Sadly, neither Stein nor any other cdesign proponentsists
have a scientific theory, or even a useful hypothesis, to sup****t
intelligent design in their political fight against a scientific
theory.
Indeed, while the main players in the ID movement may know, for
example, what it takes for an idea to graduate to a theory, they
do not do anything, or anything much, to educate their followers
about it. They happily allow their sheep to conflate 'theory'
with 'idea' or 'hypothesis' or 'wild-ass guess'.
If they did help folks understand the nature of theories in
science, they would have to admit that the modern *theory* of
evolution is well-established, rigorous and robust; while the
*theory* of intelligent design is none of those things.
