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.
