If you believe that your explanation is scientific and valid, then please provide a hypothetical observation that, if made, would show that your claim is false.

Consistent as this odd request may be with various postmodern intellectual disorders, I must ask why you don't consider the obvious alternative. That is, to ask him to supply an observation that shows his claim is true.

My request is consistent with the requirements of the scientific method; in that respect, it is certainly not "odd".

I must ask why you don't consider the obvious alternative. That is, to ask him to supply an observation that shows his claim is true.

metmom has already claimed that any observation of "order from non-order" where intelligence is known to be involved supports the claim as true. I am asking metmom to show that the claim is meaningful by presenting a hypothetical example that, if observed, would show the claim to be false.
