Re: Applying The Scientific Method
Taq writes:
Occam's Razor states that the explanation with the fewest unevidenced assumptions is the one to go with. ID makes a ton of unevidence assumptions compared to naturalistic explanations. For evolution we have the OBSERVED mechanisms of evolution. No such mechanisms for ID have been put forward. We don't even have any evidence for the designer itself. All of it is assumed without any evidence to support it.
The ID hypothesis is indeed dependent upon supportive evidence of an existing designer having the intelligence, ability and energy sufficient to implement an intelligently designed and managed universe.
There is, in fact, evidence for the designer. The problem is that it is not studied, researched or peer aired. Elite secularist conventional media, academia and methodologies allow no consideration for that possibility.
The unique Buzsaw hypothesis and theoretical conclusion is thus:
Premise and hypothesis: The Universe has been designed and managed infinitely having unbounded space.
Observation:
Analysis: Analyze all observations via the scientific method, both conventional and alternative by expanding research, including data supportive to existing metaphysical energy and intelligence.
Prediction:
Theoretical Conclusion: An intelligent designer has created, destroyed, arranged and managed all existing energy and matter in the unbounded space of the Universe infinitely.
The Universe is a closed system being essentially a perpetual machine via an intelligently managed energy

Order: does not point to a desighner it was shown that order can spawn on its own
Yah, sure, Frako, like dried clay is observed to spawn into bricks which stack up to become walls which form into beautifully designed buildings. Like unmanaged buildings which are observed to remain functional when left for years unoccupied. Yah, sure.
frako writes:
Diverse elments: Huh?? well yes they usualy form in stars no desighner needed
Like all of the diversely complex elements needful for all existing things such as stars spawned into existence by happenstance? That's a matter of opinion, depending on one's scientific hypothetical premise about origins.
frako writes:
Operative forces: huh?? so your saying gravity and the like so gravity is caused by mass and that proves a desighner how?
From whence comes gravity and all of the forces needful to be in place for any order to exist. From whence comes all of the diverse forces operative on planet earth and throughout the universe so as for it to function in all of it's complexity?
frako writes:
Complicated complexity: Huh?? So complex things cannot be complex on their own they need a desighner for them to be complex. An simple things can come to be because they are simple like an I beam it is perfectly simpla an I shaped metal beam nothing complex abbout it though i see none acuring in nature.
Ahh, the geysers and wonderfully designed diverse snowflakes. Geysers and other eruptions, such as volcanoes can be considered chaotic fissures destroying villages and forests or they can be interesting places to visit and observe.
Snowflakes depend on the interpretation of the beholder's ideology. We IDists see them as wonderfully designed products of processes implemented by a supreme intelligent designer.

That depends on from who's perspective. Secularist research applies exclusively to discovering naturalistic phenomena.

No I don't. Read me carefully. Note that word, "evidence." Where there is evidence there should be science. There are some IDSM scientists applying the SM who's chances of getting peered, studied in academia, researched by conventional science or aired in the public media are near nil.

Once again, observing letters on a page describing a designer is not the same as observation of the designer itself.
Oh. Well then, how about we apply that to anti-matter?

How is this analysis done, specifically?
Here's one example. Assemble all of the data in the Biblical Record about the alleged Exodus. As explorer/researcher Ron Wyatt, Lennart Moller and others have done, go on expeditions to research the area which the Biblical Historical Record cites as the region of the alleged event. Document the supportive evidences which are discovered, etc.
Why do the SM scientists such as National Geographic's Robert Ballard and other secularists have no interest in either falsifying the alleged evidence or verifying it?

edited cause I fell for Buz's off topic BS.
Let's recap before alleging Buz off topic.
Taq alleged that no evidence has ever been cited supportive to the existence of the Biblical intelligent designer. I responded by citing one of my examples of supportive evidence. Taq responded with the implication that the designer should be seen. I alluded to antimatter which also has never been seen, etc.
Though digression into aspects of topic debate could lead off topic, imo, the exchange between Taq and me did not.

Evidencing The Biblical Designer
The metaphysical SM would include possibilities, causes and evidence of what exists in space and time. The SM of the metaphysical involves aspects of both the physical and the metaphysical.
Metaphysics
Metaphysics includes the undefined science of ".......physics, philosophy, existence, time and space, astrobiology, perception......."
The term meta means beyond.. It includes phenomena beyond the physical relative to what it is and what it is like.
ABE: Evidencing the metaphysical would/should include research supportive of the metaphysical aspects of the Exodus alluded to in this thread.

Here is what you said:
"There is, in fact, evidence for the designer. The problem is that it is not studied, researched or peer aired. Elite secularist conventional media, academia and METHODLOGIES allow no consideration for that possibility." [emphasis mine]
"Secular" scientists use the scientific methodology. You are saying that this methodology does not allow for ID.
Taq, I see you emphasised the word, METHODOLOGIES. I'll up you some on emphasising. I'll emphasise, "ELITE SECULARIST CONVENTIONAL MEDIA, ACADEMIA AND METHODOLOGIES ALLOW NO CONSIDERATION FOR THAT POSSIBILIY. "
You missed my valid point that conventional SM is incomplete whereas the metaphysical science methodology, call it MSM, is the complete science which researches, studies and airs both, the ID metaphysical evidence and the physical evidence, a classic example being the Exodus Case book and aired Exodus Video revealing the findings of the MSM which was applied in that research.
Taq writes:
Buzsaw writes:
Note that word, "evidence." Where there is evidence there should be science.
There is a difference between evidence and facts.
Oh wow! How to spin valid evidence! Fact is derived from evidence. No?
Taq writes:
Facts which can be used to test a hypothesis are called evidence.
Mmm, not really. It's more like, evidence applied to test hypotheses determines whether hypotheses qualify factually for the MSM.
Taq writes:
So you need a testable hypothesis before you can claim to have evidence. Where is that testable hypothesis and the null hypothesis?
The hypothesis has been tested over many expeditions by numerous explorers and scientific researchers and the results of a valid evidenced hypothesis published.
Where do you get that "null" nonsense? It has yet to be nullified. Where are the SM marine researchers, such as the renowned Robert Ballard? They're all out to lunch on anything alluding to MSM.
Taq writes:
Buzsaw writes:

Then you shouldn't have any problem telling us how they apply the SM, the experiments that they are running, and the hypotheses that they are testing. We keep asking for these things and you guys keep avoiding it.
It's all researched and the MSM has been applied. The results and conclusions have all been published. Don't look for it in the bully pulpit peer reviews. Their SM is incomplete, biasly ignoring the MSM data in their exclusive elitist circles where IDSM scientists need not apply.
Taq, you people keep on keeping on hollering for evidence and other SM data when all you need to do is view the researched MSM evidence on Lennart Moller's Exodus Video or read his excellent book, THE EXODUS CASE which peers, if you will, the MSM scientifically researched data.

You can design experiments where you predict specific outcomes based on the hypothesis of anti-matter. You then run these experiments. Guess what? The results of the experiments (the observations) match the predictions.
So how does ID follow this methodology?

Ok, now what? Is this data empirical? If not, then it is out.
No, of course not. It's not out until it's falsified. That's the job of your SM people who are out to lunch. Until it is falsified it's in. Don't wait for conventional biased peer reviews to declare it empirical. LoL on that!

Tell you what, Jar and Jonsey. Copy and paste my stuff, as Taq has done and go at refuting the pertinent points posted as Taq has attempted to do. Then I'll respond.
ABE: Dr Jones: Aside from your smartass remarks, you did teach me something. Thanks. Null means non-factual. I have never heard of the term null hypothesis until I looked it up. Lo and behold, (no surprise) what considered to be non-factual on main street America, SM elitists in academia apply as valid.

Just to clarify, you're saying that the ID method is not the same as the scientific method - i.e. you're disagreeing with Dawn Bertot.
Thanks for addressing one of my pertinent topic points, Ringo.
I'm not disagreeing with Dawn totally. I'm reinforcing Dawn's position by explaining how the metaphysical Science Method (MSM) is a more complete science methodology than the biased scientific methodology (MS). MSM researches all sciences, both physical and metaphysical whereas MS limits their methodology to the physical. Thus the MSM is the more complete and non-biased science methodology.
I believe Dawn and I agree on this. Perhaps Dawn will weigh in on whether that is the case.

Re: Behe's Court ID Question
Coyote writes:
Is this what Behe meant in the Dover trial when he used a definition of science that included astrology?
This is what those opposing ID as science do. As in this trial, Behe's opponents resorted to one of the least valid examples of IDSM which is astrology. Unlike the Biblical record, astrology has no evidential legitimacy having precious little to support it. There are no credible scientists who study the scientific validity of astrology that I am aware of.
Likely what Behe meant by his answer to the court was that it could, legally, but would have no reason to include astrology. Instead of digressing he simply answered in the affirmative.
His critics took that ball and ran with it all over the Internet and science fora as you are doing.
