Catholics repudiate the "tweaking." And so do several Protestant sects, I believe the Lutherans, for one.

It's a fundamental difference in point of view. Catholics believe God doesn't need to "tweak." He set it all in motion billions of years ago.

Yes, this is true, but the idea of ID still covers their school of thought as well. All ID is really saying is that it seems an intelligence had some involvement, somewhere along the way. Thats a pretty big umbrella. What I have a problem with is those sects being as dogmatic in repudiating a thing without evidence proving or disproving.

In the field of Science, nothing should be taken as fact until proven, nor discarded until disproven.

Actually, that's not true. We simply say that, as a matter of faith, it doesn't matter whether there was tweaking or not.

That being said, though science cannot rule out an occaisonal tweak, from a theological perspective I would find it rather uncharacteristic of the way God usually works. So a priori, I would tend to say there wasn't any tweaking, though of course no one can prove it.
