it would be developing and testing a reliable way of determining the degree of specified complexity in an object. I should be able to take anything I like, whether it be a snowflake, a geode, a rock, a mouse, and apply a standardised procedure. That procedure should give me the degree of specificed complexity (or whatever it is that the ID proponents call their imagined property).
Science goes after data. A scientific concept is one you should be able to measure. Why aren't the ID people coming up with the needed measuring procedure?
