Shouldn't you be out feeding Christians to lions? I'm curious though, what is the testable part of evolution? Have we tested that light has a finite limit?

I'm no ID expert, not even a proponent, but wouldn't the test be to attempt to break down the cell into working parts? Seems reasonable from the article.

In the spirit of open mindedness and science, let me be the first to say that I'm sure that everyone will be absolutely objective, collegial, and downright polite.

One of these things is NOT like the other...

A testable prediction of evolution? I will give you one if you promise to return the favor and either provide a testable prediction of ID or admit it isn't scientific. Deal?

And no, attempting "to break down the cell into working parts" is not a testable prediction. A prediction is a deduction - from the assumptions of the theory you prove a theorem and the phenomena to which the theorem maps are the prediction.
