Here is a testable theory of ID. If some designer made DNA, and made it with intention to survive many different environments that the "package" could have encountered, then one would expect DNA to be able to generate life in environments rich in active elements other than carbon, that can be a basis of living systems.

If one could show that DNA could generate viable cells based on other than carbon based chemistry, (say silicon), what would the judges say?

That you should win the insensibly complex, unlikely fantasy contest. Wouldn't it be orders of magnetude cheaper and easier for a deity to just show up on 60 Minutes and create life from dirt instantaneously in front of a camera?
