Quickly, there's immense prize money to be gotten here!

Presence of "bias" does not show intelligent design (dissipative structures, anyone?), so your "test" does not have the potential to falsify your "hypothesis". It is, therefore... drum roll please .... USELESS, like every other supposed "test" for "ID".

Flawed logic. Gong! You lose.

Bias is a prerequisite for ID. True, the presence of bias doesn't insure intelligence, but the *absence* of bias precludes it.

Thus, ID can be falsified with a test for bias that shows...none.

Ergo, ID is a testable, falsifiable, scientific theory.

Of course, this stands to reason, as ID already explains genetically altered pigs that are grown in the lab to produce human hormones.

Evolution didn't create those pigs.
