FMA:
But perhaps you can tell us how ID designed the system?
Nelson:
I discussed in my response to Susan some of the methods intelligent agency
uses to produce molecular machines.
=====================
Avoiding the question I notice. ID is sterile in that it does not give any
other explanation than "in absence of an identified evolutionary pathway,
it's intelligent design". But no details about how, where, when, why etc.
=====================
FMA:
Lacking such predictions, can we conclude that ID is falsified as well? See
how evolution leads to predictions and further research? What would ID do?
Nelson:
It does not lack such predictions. One can use the design principle of one
machine , to predict the principle of another.
====================
Not really since this presumes that evidence of such machines exists in the
biological IC system. One cannot compare apples and oranges. Just like Behe
uses a poor analogy of a mouse trap for IC systems.
