But as to falsibility, all one has to do is to provide a darwinian or some other transformational mechanism to explain the phenomenon that he points out to refute him.

You are correct here.

However, the value of any scientific theory lies in its ability to make specific predictions. What specific predictions does intelligent design make?

I don't deny that intelligent design is a real possibility. It just doesn't seem to have any scientific use.

Acedemically that is correct. Practically, it is not, for if ID is, in fact, how everything came about, then trying to understand biology from an ID model will get you a lot farther in understanding life using the evolution model. It may work to a point just as Ptolomy's model of the solar system worked to a point.

Science is just a word. A definition. And the pursuit of science is not the loftiest of mans endeavors, although it can be the most fun sometimes.
