"Neither provides any predictive power when human interference is involved, don't you think? Especially since ID doesn't have any predictions in any case..." - ThinkPlease

No, and had you been paying attention, you might have been clever enough to see that at least one prediction of Intelligent Design was already covered exhaustively.

That prediction, of course, is one of short periods of speciation. One would expect that a designer would introduce a new model rather rapidly, after all.

A century or more ago, Darwinists laughed at ID and said that the fossil record showed long transition periods for speciation events, thus "disproving" ID.

Then more and more fossils were uncovered, all of which showed RAPID speciation events. Evolutionary Theory was then revised. It's replacement theory, Punctuated Equilibria, then predicted short speciation events (just like ID).

Funny how that works...

Except that IDists aren't publishing? Why? Could be that they still don't have a scientific theory?

Funny how that works.
