"Intelligent design can be falsified. All you have to do is prove how different genes, how different organs, how different faculties coevolved at the same time. -me-

How would this falsify intelligent design?"

It would falsify intelligent design by demonstrating that different characteristics can coevolve to create a functioning system which requires different organs, genes, proteins, etc. to work together. Of course, to say such a thing is totally ridiculous and is the reason why Intelligent Design disproves evolution.

I ask again, how would this falsify intelligent design? Why couldn't it be possible that such a system can happen even though intelligent design happened?

A theory isn't disproven just because you can present another nonfalsifiable explanation for the events. A theory is disproven when an observation can be made that is in direct contradiction to predictions of the theory.

Of course, to say such a thing is totally ridiculous

Why is it ridiculous?

and is the reason why Intelligent Design disproves evolution.

How does ID, even if true, disprove evolution?
