The Watchmaker: my fav argument

[John 6IX Breezy]

I don't see how that could be falsified. 

Hmm I'm viewing "design-ability" as a property that things have (or could be shown not to have).

I'm here borrowing from J.J. Gibson's "ecological approach to perception" in which he introduces the concept of affordances. Objects have properties like "graspability," which exist by virtue of there being animals with limbs in an environment with surfaces that allow grasping. (The theory is about how animals perceive these "affordances" but that's less important.)

What I'm claiming here is that objects also have a property of "design-ability." Which exists by virtue of them being "designable" or "creatable." A pencil, for example, is something that can be designed. And if there is any doubt, we can easily conduct an experiment and attempt to design and create a pencil.

The claim that "everything in the universe is designable" is falsifiable because other claims with the same structure are as well (e.g. "everything in the universe is graspable" is false—the moon isn't graspable). Simulation Theory is important because it allows us to test the design-ability of the universe virtually.

If anything in the universe cannot be designed, then intelligent design is falsified.
