For example, you have claimed that "intelligent design" is a scientific explanation. If this is true, then you should be able to define a hypothetical falsification criteria for the explanation.

And you have claimed that evolution is a scientific explanation. If this is true, then you should be able to define a hypothetical falsification criteria for the explanation.

Does the name "Behe" and "Irreducible complexity" ring any bells?

Irreducible complexity is a candidate for the falsification of the ToE, but to this day hasn't proven up to the task, as the proffered examples have been investigated more fully and evolutionary paths discovered.

Alternately, the discovery of evidence which didn't fit the evolutionary path established thus far would prove problematic for the ToE, hence the "Dinosaur & Man footprints" Paluxy controversy in Texas.

Precambrian rabbit fossils. A transposon found in both whales and cows, but not in hippos.
