But they don't just say "God did it." They seek examples of situations in the real world than cannot be explained by natural laws or chance or a combination of them. If you saw a chess board that had all the pawns occupying the left field of the board, one in front of the other, you would conclude that neither the laws of chess nor chance could have put them there. ID seeks the same examples in the real world--situations like the fine tuning of the universe--which is so improbable as to be impossible given the rules of chance and physics. They never resort to "God did it." They seek to prove intelligence did it. And that's why it is falsifiable--just show how nonintelligence did it, and ID is falsified.

If you infer the origin of life from its appearence you would have to assume evolution abd natural selection. What psychopath would design leishmaniasis?

Do you have an example of a natural phenomena that can be shown beyond reasonable doubt to have been produced by.....nonintelligence (other than the OJ trial verdict)? If not, your argument is absurd.

Impossible. What ever exists, the ID'ers can just say that "God did it". That can never be falsified since no one can know God.
