OK. But...

"That there will be things that we can find in biology that could not have arisen from prior states."

...is completely unsatisfying - even to a lay about like me.

That only predicts evolution is wrong. Even if the prediction is found to be true, it offers no support to the validity of ID.

Can a theory be called "scientific" if it only makes predictions that refute other theories?
