Line 726:

Though it has to be pointed out that due to the fact that question of the origin of species is of historical nature, the requirment "empirically testable & falsifiable" is not applicable in its strict sense, neither to the theory of intelligent design nor to the theory of evolution. This criterium can only be applied to a something that can be repeatedly tested like a natural law and of course not to an historical event that lies in the past. An historical hypothesis can only be checked for plausibilty with all available evidence.

:It's editorializing, mentions the non-existent "theory of intelligent design", spells [[criterion]] wrongly, but basically is nonsense. The theory of evolution has been tested against all available evidence and all available evidence supports it. There is no "theory of intelligent design", which makes any testable predictions and which isn't supported. — [[user:Duncharris|Dunc]]|[[User talk:duncharris|☺]] 22:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
