No, the reason why we exclude ID if nothing is known about the supposed designer is the fact that it is not falsifiable.

And thus neither is its alternative.

If by this you mean the TOE is not falsifiable, you are quite simply wrong. The TOE is readily falsifiable. However, no evidence has ever been presented to falsify its tenets in any major way.

It is falsifiable because it makes predictions both negative and positive. It makes predictions about what you cannot find if the TOE is accurate, and it makes predictions about what you should find if it is. So far, nothing has been found that clearly shouldn't be there, and everything that has been found has accorded pretty well with the positive predictions it does make (I'm not even going to bother regurgitating viral insertion studies and fossil strata predictions -- that's been done ad nauseum on other threads and is readily accessible).

r9etb seems to have no clue as to what has been done or what is being done in molecular biology. Every time a gene is studied in detail it yields a pattern of inheritance that fits what would be expected from other lines of evidence and reasoning.

When do we get to zoom in on the designer's serial number, as in Blade Runner?
