| Nine predictions, if intelligent design is true
|
|
|
| I blog at Uncommon Descent, a community blog where this question was
| sent to Bill Dembski by a TV chase producer:
|
| ... can you or they provide any samples of things that intelligent
| design theory has predicted, which researchers have later determined
| to be true?
|
| I gather Dembski sent that guy some predictions, but I've been busy,
| so I didn't get around to compiling any suggestions till now. Figured
| I'd post them here.
|
| 1. No good theory will be found for a random origin of the universe,
| either by the Large Hadron Collider or anything else. The universe
| will consistently behave more like a great idea than a great machine.
|
The universe is a great machine. It wastes nothing and recycles
everything.
No intelligence needed either.
|
| Positive prediction: An end to unfalsifiable ideas about zillions of
| flopped universes and a focus on how we can best explore our own
| universe, as per The Privileged Planet .
|
Show where that prediction as been made.
You can't, so shut up about it.
|
| 2. No good theory will be found for a random origin of life, though
| there will be plenty of huffing and puffing in favour of bad ideas.
| All theories that exclude purpose and design fail because they leave
| out the key driver - the purpose that life should come into
| existence.
|
Life does not need a purpose. Only religion soaked fools feel that life
needs purpose and reason.
Get over it, you are not that im****tant to the universe.
|
| Positive prediction: We will learn more about the real nature of our
| universe and our place in it, and how best we can explore it when we
| accept the fact that it didn't "just happen."
|
The world could vanish tomorrow, and the universe will not even notice.
|
| 3. Complete series of transitional fossils will not usually be found
| because most proposed series have never existed. Eventually,
| researchers will give up on ideologically driven nonsense and address
| the history that IS there. They will focus on discovering the
| mechanisms that drive sudden bursts of creativity.
|
Learn a little something about the process of fossilization. It's not
as easy as deluded morons might think it is.
|
| Positive prediction: Discovering the true mechanisms of bursts of
| natural creativity may be of immense value to us, especially if we
| need to undo some significant harm to our environment.
|
And when you discover that, do let us know.
And since the rest of this noise was the same easily countered crap, I
clipped it for the sake of reasonable people every where.

There are none more ignorant and useless,
than they that seek answers on their knees,
with their eyes closed.
