You've missed my point. I am looking for some observation that would show that ID (or creationism) is false. The creation of matter, energy, etc. from nothing does nothing to falsify ID. God could have done this, hence ID is not falsified. This is not an observation, however. I am looking for some observation that would render ID false. If there is no such observation, then ID is not science. My contention is that there is no such observation and that creationism is indeed unfalsifiable and therefore not science.

Not really, we simply have different priorities. Mechanisms are nice to debate but the origin is the brass ring which is why I asked you if God is falsifiable. You seem reticent to answer. No problem.

The problem is that we know that intelligent design (in a general sense) is not false, because we know that humans actually practice it. Which is why I'm asking you for a better definition of what precisely it is that can be "falsified."
