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?

But what does ID itself predict? (BTW, nowhere in the theory of evolution is it implied that evolution is non directional.) For example evolution predicts that you won't ever find a rabbit fossil in a billion year old rock layer because evolution says that creatures as complex as rabbits took long periods of time to evolve. Observation of a rabbit fossil that was actually billions of years old would falsify evolution. What hypothetical observation would falsify ID?
