Trivially true? Trivial?
Somehow I don't think that if some scientific theory (like the ToE for example) couldn't be falsified, that it would be considered a trivial matter to scientists or evos.
Matter of fact, the claim that the ToE hasn't been falsified is one of the main arguing points for it by evos.
Or is a theory not being falsified only trivial when it's a theory they don't like?
Or is a theory not being falsified only trivial when it’s a theory they don’t like?
Bingo, same for measurable, repeatable, testable...
There's a difference between can't be falsified and hasn't been falsified. ID can't be falsified because it doesn't make any predictions that can be tested to get a firm yes or no answer. Just like the theory that God created us all 5 minutes ago with everything in place can't be falsified either. The fact that there are basically no criteria for falsifying ID is one of the reasons it's not a scientific theory.
If you disagree, perhaps you could propose a criterion. What test might give a result that could falsify ID?
