...I Present the Theory of Intelligent Design. Please demonstrate it to be false though experiment and observation....

If it's a theory it makes predictions about future observations; if these predictions are false, the theory is considered falsified.

So, precisely what observation cannot be "explained" as "the designer did it that way"?

My contention is that ID isn't a theory - it is incapable of falsification, ie it is vacuous.

If it's not a theory, it has no place in science class. Possibly in rhetoric class.

For the second time I apologize for using "Theory", I meant Hypothesis.
