"In other words, ID fails your own test. There is no "specific peer-reviewed falsification criteria" for intelligent design. Ergo, intelligent design is unfalsifiable."

ID *is* falsifiable. ID is falsified in any system that contains no bias.

The disconnect is that the ideologues who control the gates to scientific publication refuse to publish ID's falsification criteria.

However, that failing on their part is no excuse for their refusal to publish falsification criteria for Evolutionary Theory.

So, it isn’t the lack of “specific peer-reviewed falsification criteria” that makes evolution unfalsifiable. Explain to me again how the theory of evolution is unfalsifiable, and how “a rabbit in the Precambrian” fails to falsify evolution.

RE: “ID *is* falsifiable. ID is falsified in any system that contains no bias.”

Since ID is a No Theory /ID Theory has ‘no evidence’ = ‘ID evidence’ it is completely unfalsifiable. Since it was Designed/Created in an unspecified way by an unspecified process for an unspecified purpose (beyond what you would want it to be) it explains everything you see (as poof-magic), and explains nothing about it.

Because there is no theory or evidence ID is childs got-ya game where falsification arguments against evolution (which prove it is science) are re-cast as evidence for ID,
