What scientist worth her salt wouldn't respond to a direct invitation to seek grant money from a sympathetic, well-heeled grantor? what person couldn't find a way to spend some grant money?

West is a political scientist, remember.

Of course, I suspect that no ID proponents could answer these very simple scientific questions and that is why they couldn't manage to submit a suitable application for the research grants.

What are the ID predictions regarding adaptive mutations? That they exhibit a non-random mechanism for mutation in response to an external stimuli that on it's own does not cause the mutation, but the cause stems from the embedded design within DNA.
What are the ID predictions regarding non-randomness in mutations? That there are non-random mechanisms involved in DNA mutations; some are known of course, and others such as the cause of adaptive mutations are under research. Providing an overview of what causes non-random mutations, and proposing research into possible other areas would be of interest.
(Of course, the ToE makes no predictions at all about how many fossils there will be, only that they exist at all) Wrong ToE predicts a process occurred. One can look at the fossil record to see if the fossil record indicates ToE occurred as evos claim, or did not. For example, evos claim the reason 99.9% of transitional forms are not seen is due to fossil rarity, but that is an unsubstantiated claim because it does not explain why, if fossilization is so rare, it is also so common for many species.
What are the predictions of ID related to QM? That there is a deeper reality within the universe governing over what people considered "material" 100 plus years ago, and that this deeper aspect contains properties normally associated in prior times with spiritual descriptions on how the universe works.
What are the ID predictions regarding the origins of consciousness? That is exists. The purpose of the research would be to define it's properties so science can have a better working basis in which to include consciousness in it's theories on the universe and real world.

So you can't provide any examples of ID research being funded.
Correct? I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

For example, evos claim the reason 99.9% of transitional forms are not seen is due to fossil rarity, Please provide a source where an evolutionary biologist or paleontologist (or a scientist in any other relevant discipline) states that 99.9% of transitional forms are not seen and that this is due to fossil rarity.
but that is an unsubstantiated claim because it does not explain why, if fossilization is so rare, it is also so common for many species. Please provide quantitative research demonstrating fossilation is so common for many species. This will need to explain how the calculation of how many individuals existed vs. how many fossilised was done (just as a start). I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Mangy, you asked. I answered. I think further substantiating the fossil arguments, etc,...takes us to other threads, which you are welcome to participate on, which contain quite a bit of material answering your questions.

Mangy, you asked. I answered You posted this in your Message 26. Here is the message chain preceding it:
Message 26 - your reply to me in
Message 23 - my reply to you in Message 21 - your reply to schrafinator in Message 20 - her reply to you in Message 9 - your general post to the thread Could you show me where in this chain you answered these questions:
Please provide a source where an evolutionary biologist or paleontologist (or a scientist in any other relevant discipline) states that 99.9% of transitional forms are not seen and that this is due to fossil rarity. Please provide quantitative research demonstrating fossilation is so common for many species. This will need to explain how the calculation of how many individuals existed vs. how many fossilised was done (just as a start). If you want to link to a message in another thread where appropriate research has been cited that's fine of course. I believe Forum rules require you to produce evidence to back up your claims. You made the claims in Message 21 - produce evidence or withdraw them. I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Mangy, no, because it would seriously take this thread off-topic.
Tell you what. See if I can make a facetious point. Can you substantiate the dictionary definitions in all of the words you have used on this thread so we can see if they are accurate? Please spend several hours listing definitions from at least 3 dictionaries. In the context of this thread, I commented on areas I can think of for ID research in response to someone else's comments along those lines. It was already going off-topic right there. I decided to veer close to off-topic stating I can think of some. You asked for more details, and I gave them to you. That's where it ends. The relavant point is that there are claims that ID research is possible. Getting into more specifics is against the rules for this thread, even by my loose standards. Now you are asking for even more details, thus demanding I take this thread completely off-topic, and I am not going to do that mangy. More details on fossilization, etc,...comprise several enture threads, and you know that. If you want to appeal to a moderator on this, please do so but quit taking this thread more off-topic than it is.

I did specifically state all you had to do was point to another thread where your claims were substantiated (which is not just a thread on the same topic by the way). Although I didn't explicitly state it this would have allowed the discussion to proceed outside of this thread.
You are apparently unable or unwilling to do. The record shows you made a claim and would not either back it up or withdraw it. I'm content to leave it at that. I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

not just "what are the predictions"
but "what are the predictions of ID theory {X} that differentiate it from current theory - ie majority of evidence explained better by ID theory {X} such that ID theory {X} has better predictive value - and that if invalidated falsify ID theory {X}" EXAMPLE:
Evidence: some bioligical systems are very complex in operation and involve many elements to accomplish certain tasks. Observation: Some subsystems of biological systems are "Irreducibly Complex" (IC) such that the removal of any part of the subsystem renders it inoperative. ID theory {X} = The existence of IC systems is evidence that something other than evolution is at work - such as the work of an "Intelligent Designer" - because the elements of such systems could not have all evolved simultaneously. Prediction of ID theory {X} = IF there is no way for such a system to evolve, THEN it must have occured by some other method, such as ID. Experimental evidence shows that "IC" systems can and have evolved (a couple have been observed). Result: ID theory {X} - "IC" - is an invalidated (falsified) theory, it cannot differentiate ID systems from evolved systems, and it has no measurable value. That kind of thing.
