the prediction of design can and has been tested and has resulted in the same conclusions based on opinion that evolution has. Irreducible hypothesis predicts design will break down when degredation happens, and scientifically shows how that design breaks down- and scientifically shows the connections of organisms and organs and microbiological dependencies. They present the evidences, and then give opinions about what those evidences suggest- same as evolution. The only real difference is that the evolutionist presents their evidences with the assumption that everythign can be explained naturally, while design opines that not everythign can be shown to have occured naturally, and they present the evidences that they think backs this position up. Evolutionistscan’t and haven’t been able to prove everythign coems from natural process, they only surmise that they do- ID can’t obviously prove everything was created, they only surmise- It seems to me that one groups summeries are allowed as ‘science’ while the other’s is not.

>>the prediction of design can and has been tested<<

Could you lay out some the biological predictions that have been made by ID?

I’d like to find evidence of God. From my experience with Him, however, he seems to require faith.

BTW, from another thread here is the kind of biological predictions I am told evolution makes that have been confirmed.

>>
Some predictions (I’m just repeating what I have read elsewhere - I claim no great knowledge of biology). And I’m only gonna cite simple ones I can understand - there are apparently very complex predictions.

1. There are two types of whales baleen and teeth. Prediction: there must be a whale with both teeth and baleen.

2. Darwin found no Precambrian fossils. He said evolutionary theory required there to be such fossils.

3. Fossils should be found in series that reflect evolution. So should DNA.

4. Evolution predicts that fossils from different eras will never be found together - the example I was given was that you would “never find fossils of trilobites with fossils of dinosaurs”

Apparently there are all kinds of complex DNA predictions and evolutionary applications to bacteria and viruses but we’d need somebody who knows much, much more than I to have that discussion.<<
