Your theory was just falsified rather rapidly by Dimensio. Would you like me to provide some rather obvious tests for "macro" evolution?

He certainly showed the circularity of my approach. I sit duly rebuked. My only defense is that it was the best I could up with in about a minute and a half.

But as I think of it, it really isn't the task of ID types to prove ID. That has been the presumptive world view for all of history and why Darwinian Evolution has such problems being accepted. In other words ID isn't an alternative theory to evolution. Evolution is an alternative theory to ID. The burden of proof is on Darwin, which I believe he acknowledged. So I would be interested in your tests. I would also be interested in your thoughts on the problem of "irreducible complexity"It seems to me that it presents a serious challenge to Darwin. Wouldn't one way of falsifying evolutionary theory be to show that there exists even one irreducably complex biological structure that could not have arisen from evolutionary processes?
