Re: Metascience
Try explaining the people you need to deal with with science.
We do, it's ccalled psychology.

Re: Metascience
No, and in day to day life, we don't. We make assumptions based on what we take in on the fly and act on those, often with less than hoped-for results.
The fact that we may not have a description for everything doesn't mean there isn't one. We're not all-knowing, so differing theories is how we suss out the right path. I'd say we've been very successful.

Re: A Former Creationist Reveals All
At least ID agrees with most asspects of the theory of evolution; they don't discard the theory completely, they only take issue with a few things. Mostly, irreducible complexity, etc.
False. Some ID proponents agree with most aspects of the theory of evolution. Some do not. That's one of the "hallmarks" of ID, it doesn't actually make any claims other than "there is an intelligent designer." The nature of that designer, the process of its design, and the proof of that design are left ot the individual to descern on their own.

Re: A Former Creationist Reveals All
Sure sounds like religion to me.
It does indeed.
