Heheheh. I have used IDIOT theory to refer to any practice of ID theory--- the scientific study of evidence that living beings were designed--- that moves beyond the strictly scientific to besically creationist material.
The latter theory is filled with calls to analogies instead of evidence, and spend time talking about the intended endpoints of those designs when they have yet to prove where design began and by what or whom.
Not surprisingly IDIOT theory makes up most purported ID theory literature.
Someone (I think mr Hambre) has called it IDC theory, for Intelligent Design Creationism. That is probably a nicer way of achieving the same result.
It was simply after reading too much ID literature--- which involves an inordinate amount of analogy and teleology--- that it seemed more appropriate to call it: Intelligent Design and Inferred Organic Teleology theory.
Sorry for the side note, back to the thread...

Re: An Acronym is Born
Of course, once materialist science is overthrown, IDIOT's will begin replacing whole fields of study with their new jargon.
For example, the scientific field devoted to the study of ancient animal life will then become known as Paley-ontology.
Students taking courses in that subject will no learn how NOT to tell the difference between a fossil and a wristwatch while in the field.
