Who says it can't be tested? There are plenty of ways to test it using statistics, and information theory and a variety of logical constructs. Stating something is untestable, is obviously incorrect coming from someone who believes in scientific theory.

And what predictions does ID make?

[And what predictions does ID make?]

Hypothesis 1: Scientific Atheists will tend to support abominations such as abortion on demand, genocide (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, probably Hitler)

That's a hypothesis in the social science realm. How about one in the hard biosciences?

Hypothesis 2: Evolutionary processes will have consistent attractors universallyt. For example, you might expect human-like creatures on other planets with developed morality, versus slime molds.

There will be more, but are you so doltish you can't make up your own testable hypotheses?
