This message first appeared here, where the message subtitle was "Typical yes/no black/white fundamentalist-creationist reasoning".
How is it a great thing about science that they prove themselves wrong in every generation?
It is not that scientific theories are discarded wholesale. They are modified to be improved versions. Much/most of the previous content remains being considered valid.
It is not that scientists show ("prove") themselves to be completely wrong. It's that scientists show themselves to be less than completely right. There is alway room for improvement in a theory.
Many mainstream Christians also have found that there is room for improvement in their theology. It is the fundamentialists that are stuck in the "it's all right or it's all wrong" line of reasoning.

Whats off topic by suggesting ID evolved from the TOE. And for suggesting that ID is an improvement of the TOE based on evolution theory. ID is not addressing theology but the sciences. Meaning not stuck in the fundamentialists all right or its all wrong line of reasoning Minnemooseus credited to the fundamentalists.
TE is about is about Minnemooseus belief that scientists are not completely right (not a black and white thing) and that science is evolving. (Theory Evolution not Theory of Evolution) Science is evolving.
An example of science evolving is the theory of relativity, now that light speed has been broken. Its not about its all right or wrong, because ID too is evolving based on the scientific evidence.
I hear you though. That the theolgical evidence supporting the scientific evidences is not the premise of this thread. Its more about the sciences evolving not on a black and white premise of fundementalists theologies but based on the scientific evidences.
