Finally -- A Definition!
The object has to exhibit specified complexity AND have a small probability, before ID is inferred.
​
Oh, finally, someone who knows the subject so well is going to tell us what CSI is!
This is the thread to do that in:

​
Thanks for this. I, for one, have been wondering what it is for months.

Funny?
Linne was before Darwin and his work was published. That is why it is funny when Darwin posed that species are not immutable
​
Why is this funny? That species were mutable was already understood. How this could happen was another matter.

I thought it was understood that the mutability was already understood to be the mystery to be explaned.

The Difference
The same way archaeologists, anthropologists and other researchers tell the difference now.
