Hypothesis 1: Scientific Atheists will tend to support abominations such as abortion on demand, genocide (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, probably Hitler)

How is this a prediction of ID? ID is not a theory about scientific atheism.

Hypothesis 2: Evolutionary processes will have consistent attractors universallyt. For example, you might expect human-like creatures on other planets with developed morality, versus slime molds.

Since we know of no life on other planets, we can't study it. This is hardly testable.

Forget I asked, OK? I knew you couldn't come up with anything valid, but I thought what you did come up with would be better than this.

"Since we know of no life on other planets, we can't study it. This is hardly testable. "

Not testable? I guess you've neveer heard of SETI? Boy, you must live in a cardboard box to not know about SETI. Testable doesn't mean there is already an answer to the question.

"I knew you couldn't come up with anything valid, but I thought what you did come up with would be better than this."

And I thought you could definitively rule out ID as smart as you are. But while the ID people have no definitive proof, neither do you have the logical nail to finish the coffin lid. So, someone is a close minded scientist (anyone see the irony here?), and it isn't me. I'm not a creationist. But neither do I see any real border between a universe run by ID and one run by straight science.
