Does intelligent design theory implement the scientific method?

It is poor netiquette to have 3 separate threads on the same topic all coming from the same poster.

1) "They then seek to find CSI. One easily testable form of CSI is irreducible complexity (IC)." In the sciences, the terms must not be ambiguous. You cannot form a researchable question upon ambiguous terms. The term "irreducible complexity" assumes the observation and the desired conclusion.

2) "If they find them [supposed evidence of IC], they can conclude design." No. Very unscientific. They should be calculating the probability it was due to design or the probability it was not due to design. (Now, how do they propose to do THAT?!?) Even if the probability it was not due to design turned out to be very low, it could still be not due to design! Perhaps a lurking variable has been ignored.

3) " Language and machines are good examples of things with much CSI. From our understanding of the world, high levels of CSI are always the product of intelligent design." Who's understanding? Wait. What?!? OK, please find me evidence of the first humans that spoke and evidence that they designed language and how.

From the table:
4) "Similar parts found in different organisms. Many genes and functional parts not distributed in a manner predicted by ancestry, and are often found in clearly unrelated organisms. The "root" of the tree of life is a prime example." Why did the creator(s) choose to repeat themselves? Functional things could be made in so many ways! So, it must be they said, "Hey, we've found something that works. Let's stick without. We could go around being original for each and every life-form we create ... errr, design, but heck, we're ust happy we could do it this once."

It sure does and the link proved that very fact. This question has been asked many, many times of me and I have said that ID does used the scientific method and here is your proof of that very fact.

Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick...

And never will.

Cheers.

No and never has done.
