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

First, the examples you are giving are either not within the realm of biological science or are currently untestable. ID claims to be a biological theory. It should be able to make testable predictions in that discipline.

Second, responding to a simple legitimate question with personal insults is not a very good argument for your position.

I think that WAS the totality of the position. Not much of an argument. Not that we expected much.

"or are currently untestable. "

Who said something has to be currently testable to be a hypotesis"


"ID claims to be a biological theory. It should be able to make testable predictions in that discipline."

And you should be able to come up with a testable prediction that would disprove ID as well.

"Second, responding to a simple legitimate question with personal insults is not a very good argument for your position."

I said doltish, not dolt. I just think you ought to be able to provide a test of ID on your own terms. I provided some questions not easily answered within about two minutes. Shouldn't you be able to do much better?
