“Theory is simply the limit of an accurate representation, as the uncertainty appoaches zero.”
Rubbish. The postmodernists have done their job well.
Are you using a computer. Do you have any doubts about it? Are you absolutely certain?
If you aren’t, you have a severe psychological problem. If you are, what’s all the gibberish about “as the uncertainty approaches zero?” What exactly is the unit of measure of uncertainty?

Aren’t they saying that ID is not a valid theory because there is no situation in which it can be evidentially disproven?
From what I can see, since evo is not possibly experimentally demonstrated, and they claim that that lack of evidence is meaningless... is not evo in the same boat in that there is no means by which it can be disproven?
Uncertainty is a real number contained in the open interval (0,1). It has no units and in general is not a continuous function.

You're in danger of failing science class and not passing on to the 8th grade. I see summer school in your future, along with numerous visits to the principal's office.
By definition, the same as the units of whatever quantity you're trying to measure.
See also "significant digits"...
(Unless you are referring to a layman's or a philosopher's definition of "uncertainty", and not an engineer's or scientist's. A lot of problems are caused by using a word as a layperson which has a specialized meaning within a particular discipline, or vice versa.)
