One can test if something happens "randomly." One cannot test design. One can look for things like critical exponents to see if one is in a random regime. This is done regularly by experimenters. There is no criteria (under the Design Hypothesis) to say something isn't designed.

Think about it... something is either random or designed... if you can't test for one, you really can't test for the other.

If you could prove "not random," then you could prove design by elimination.

Really? So what exactly is the criteria in Evolutionary Theory that would say that something is not evolved?

This is a patently false statement. Doctor Stochastic you may be persuading some of the readers who aren't familiar with Dr. Dembski's work. You are not, however, persuading any of us who are informed on this subject.
