"Merely stating that life is Intelligently Designed makes at least two predictions -- intelligence and design. In order for these predictions to have any meaning in the physical world, where we are unfortunately condemned to conduct the entirety of our investigation, the evidence must be physical."

Can you name the physical evidence that we have in hand in which an Intelligent process has Designed DNA?

"Can you name the physical evidence that we have in hand in which an Intelligent process has Designed DNA?" -- Southack

Your little joke is starting to get a bit stale. Let's suppose for an instant that you are a real scientist looking for evidence of intelligent design in nature. You gather a few likely specimens and return to your lab. There, using a viral vector purchased at little expense from any one of half a dozen University labs, you surreptitiously insert a gene into the eggs of your specimen, grow them up and then point to the product of your deceit and gleefully proclaim that you have discovered an incident of Intelligent Design occurring in nature.

What you have done is called fraud. You would be drummed out of the profession and likely never work again. But this is exactly what you are proposing with your proof that Intelligent Design is possible. You have to show that it is possible in nature. The lab demonstration doesn't count.
