He was asked repeatedly to highlight predictions that ID would make. This is in essence asking for specific ideas that would falsify ID. He did not provide these. Because they do not exist. He waffled on the question entirely, and then when pressed he pointed to someone using a "design framework" to work out a problem. So what, I use a design framework all the time. My rock falling from the sky can be studied from a design framework.
He spent his time criticizing "darwinian evolution", not offering his own theory, beyond "goddidit". This is why ID is not taught in schools Cox. Because it is not a theory, it is a collection of bitches and gripes.
He's dropping names, using big sciencey words like a sword, but he's not actually saying anything other than "I believe in god". I cannot explain this to you any other way. The reason his opponent is smirking and interjecting is not because his opponent is an asshole, it's because he can't believe the shit that's falling out of this guys mouth. Neither can I. The entire argument is "science hasn't explained everything ergo god". Well lah ti fucking dah. Falsification. Important.
You know why creatards pick bacteria? Because they don't fossilize well, go figure.
Would you like to stake the moment of creation on the appearance of this "irreducibly complex machine"? If this were the moment of creation, would we find life older than that which has this structure? I want to bring this to your attention.

Is that the message that you get from this stuff? No supernatural creator? Fucking double-speak start to finish. I cannot stand the Discovery Institute. I'll say it again, bill of goods, empty box.

This isn't science Cox, it's politics.
