From seeing the program I remember the falsification criteria he gave was one that assumes ‘intelligent design’ until an ‘innovation’ sufficiently complex to not be able to arise by random mutation and natural selection is seen to develop in an experimental population. Of course any that do develop will be understood to be modifications of existing DNA that will produce modified proteins with different functions, and so the ‘complexity’ will no longer be ‘irreducible’.

For example if one took bacteria with the secretory apparatus that is the reducible complexity in the supposedly ‘irreducibly complex’ flagella, and selected them for mobility, would a flagella develop? At present the Dyscovery Institute is NOT pursuing this research.

What I am waiting for is an explanation of how the design is implemented in the construction of a new organism. No one wants to answer that one.
