Predictive power of ID. ID would predict the following:
From poster Pav...
(1) As already mentioned, junk-DNA would completely undermine ID if it turned out to really be junk. But, of course it isnt.
(2) A fair-level of front-loading would be expected. When they find genes for the expression of digits in sea anemones (sea squirts?), this throws Darwinism for a loop, but is almost an expectation for ID.
(3) A complicated level/levels of regulation. If junk-DNA is not junkas ID fully expectedthen, concomitantly, it should have a function. The most likely function is that of regulation. When you consider that the ratio of non-coding to coding DNA is 48 to 1, then you must also expect an incredible level of regulation.
(4) Since were dealing with information, ID would expect error-correction for DNA (lets remember that the Darwinists would be hoping for the oppositegotta have lots of variation, you know).
(5) Again, because were dealing with information systems, one would expect high levels of redundancy built into the genome.
(6) Lots of environmental triggers: if youre designing life that must deal with huge temperature and climatic changes, then there must be a way for the genome and the environment to interact.
