If ID is science, then you should have no problem with this. Give me at least one prediction made by ID. It should be a prediction that if it were found to be incorrect would cause you to abandon ID. I have previously posted such a prediction using evolution as a basic principle. If a life form that used something other than nucleic acids as a genetic material were found, evolution would be false. Please provide such a prediction based on ID.

Please explain why.

Ok, I will attempt it...First I must say that to me, for something to be scientific it must follow these laws.

1.It must be able to be backed up or supported by scientific data.

2. Alternative models to the theory must fail in an attempt to falisfy that theory.

That being said, here is my prediction. The Big Bang Theory leads me to belive in ID. If "non-directional" macro-evolution could be proved to be true (clear in the fossile record, laws of chemistry backed it up, etc) I would conclude that there is a major problem with my concept (the Protestant concept) of God. Because, if macro-evolution is true (a method of change in species without any direction) then God is not what he claims to be in the Bible. Therefore, the claims of George Gamow, Edwin Hubble, Alexander Friedman, George Lemaitre, and many others, are wrong.

Is this satisfactory?
