Is Intelligent Design Like Scientology?

I’ll give two good ones now

  1. ID as presented now makes no testable predictions which are unique to and arise from ID.
  2. ID as presented now is not falsifiable

What has to happen is some brave IDer has to hypothesize about the abilities and limitations of the Designer. Then they have to start coming up with some testable predictions about the specifics of “Design” - the mechanisms used, the timelines, the how, when, where, and by who questions every other science tries to answer. IDers are reluctant since virtually all of them hypothesize the Designer to be their omnipotent God.
