It is testable, if a scientist creates life in a laboratory then intelligent design exists. It is falsifiable, you can compute the amount of information contained in biological structures, and compute whether known natural processes can create that amount of information on the timescale of the universe. If they can, intelligent design is falsified.
Regardless, where the theory lives in the org chart is irrelevant to whether it is true or not, and it’s certainly no worse than all the other origin of life speculation.

- camjohnson26 6y agoIf that’s true every paper that references life’s origins needs to be retracted. If natural processes can be responsible for abiogenesis then intelligent design becomes much less likely, which is as close to falsifiable as you can get for a statement of history.
