Peer-reviewed testable ID claims?

Quizzlestick at overwhelmingevidence asks if ID has provided any peer-reviewed testable claims. The answer appears to be yes and a link is supplied to an article (written by a Kazmer Ujvarosy) that appears in an online magazine that is not peer-reviewed(!). OK you might say. Maybe the article is not peer-reviewed - but surely it provides testable claims. I'll give you five predictions the article makes:

•By virtue of its eternity human intelligence constitutes the cosmological constant.

•Human intelligence has quantum properties because it exists in both particle and field states. Human intelligence in its potential or seed state is a particle, but in its state of expression takes on field characteristics, and thus provides the morphogenetic field or quantum vacuum of the universe for the development of the creatures it has in mind.

•Dark energy, that drives the expansion of the universe, is one of the deepest and most exciting puzzles in modern science. We posit that dark energy is the field manifestation of the parent seed of the universe, just as the cosmic vacuum’s zero-point energy. They all originate from the cosmic seed’s biophoton emissions, which blackbody radiation provides a holographic biofield for the generation of the physical universe. Based on the fact that the biophotonic radiation emitted by DNA is coherent, we predict that the cosmic seed's biophotonic field or "dark energy" is equally coherent.

•The universe is a living system, dynamically managed by the parent seed’s unbounded and conscious holographic biofield, and regulated by the process of information feedback.

•The elusive Higgs boson – so vital to the Standard Model of particle physics that it is dubbed “the God particle” – is identical with the genotype of the phenotype universe, and each human genome is its reproduction. Based on this identification we posit that mass-giving is life-giving because the elementary particles that come into contact with the cosmic seed's biofield or quantum vacuum receive their mass and property as a result of that interaction.

I would be keen for either quizzlestick or Kazmer himself to (please do) tell us how we are supposed to test these predictions. Myself, I have a hard time separating this from most other new-age clap-trap.

quizzlestick says this of Kazmer:
I would like to introduce Dr. Kazmer Ujavorsy, chief scientist of the Frontline Science Institute, one of the most prestigious research organizations dedicated to Intelligent Design.
From what I can see, the Frontline Science Institute has published six articles - all in American Chronicle. From what I can see, none of the articles provide any testable claims and of course, none of them appeared in a peer-reviewed journal. So, the claim that it is a prestigious research organization would appear to be nothing short of a big fat lie.

A commenter (HaEris) has this to say about Kazmer:
.....What can I say other that I am glad he is on our side.
Given the nonsense prediction he supplied (above), I'm glad he's on your side too.

So, all in all, no peer-reviewed testable claims are supplied, which is bizarre, given that that was the reason quizzlestick wrote the article. Oh, well...

Håkan Rosén (Hawk) is correct, American Chronicle is not a peer-reviewed publication, but neither is the Bible, nor most of the publications we have. So what?

Evidently in the brainwashed mind of this student of Darwinian biology exclusively papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals constitute pure rationality and the fountainhead of understanding. As theoretical physicist Joe Rosen of the School of Physics and Astronomy of Tel Aviv University pertinently notes in his book, The Capricious Cosmos: Universe Beyond Law (1991), those who have unconditional faith in science are mistaken:

“Contrary to popular opinion in our technophilic age, science is not on the verge of explaining all aspects of the material world. In fact, science will never be able to comprehend the material world as a whole, for it lies beyond science—orderless, lawless, and unexplainable. Any understanding of the whole must therefore come from outside science.”

To make Professor Rosen’s point more understandable for Håkan, any comprehensive understanding of an oak tree must come from the knowledge of that system’s input and output, namely from its acorn, and similarly any comprehensible understanding of the universe must come from the knowledge of that cosmic system’s input and output, namely from man—or, if you will, from Christ.

If we know the genotype of a phenotype, we can make relatively precise predictions based on the genotype’s knowledge. For instance, if we know that we have the seed of a giant Sequoia, then we can predict with confidence the development of that genotype into one of the largest trees on Earth, as well as the parameters of that tree system. Similarly, if we know that a man constitutes the seed of the universe, then we can predict with confidence that man constitutes the cosmic system’s end product or output as well. This prediction is falsifiable, provided Håkan and evolutionists of his type can demonstrate that intelligence above and beyond human intelligence exists. If they have such a superhuman creature in their closet, which is reproductively isolated from man, then we’d like to have it presented for our examination. Until they manage to provide that evidence Christ’s teaching that he constitutes the cosmic system’s input and output, beginning and end, or Alpha and Omega, remains valid and sound scientifically or otherwise.

So seeing that modern science has a self-imposed limitation, and most irrationally it rejects the Creator’s own testimony telling us that the universe is man’s way of making reproductions of himself, just as a hen is the egg’s way of making eggs in its own image, why should any reasonable person go to peer-reviewed journals in order to get this theory of creation published? Mainline science’s mind is made up, the cosmic system’s input and output in the form of man is not science, because scientists have the delusion that only the universe counts as evidence, and neither its input or output.

In any case the theory of creation positing that our universe has a seed origin, which seed is Jesus Christ, is so heretical in scientific circles that no editor conditioned to the doctrine of Darwinian evolution from a simple beginning would touch it. To get the theory of creation published in a scientific journal would be comparable to get Christ’s teachings preached by orthodox rabbis in Jewish houses of worship, or to get into Nazi publications under Hitler’s reign articles that exposed the irrationality of fascism.

Regretfully these comparisons are not exaggerations. Deluded evolutionists are controlling what gets published in their journals, and the submitted papers are peer-reviewed by equally deluded evolutionists. Any paper on the theory of creation has the chance of a snowball in hell. There is no way to get it peer-reviewed, simply because there are no qualified peers to review it, only a bunch of lamebrained evolutionists.

Kazmer goes into a bizarre rant above, so I will just comment to a few of his statements.

Håkan Rosén (Hawk) is correct, American Chronicle is not a peer-reviewed publication, but neither is the Bible, nor most of the publications we have. So what?

The point is that Quizzlestick, in attempt to show that ID produces peer-reviewed material, only gives an example of an article that was not peer-reviewed. Quizzlestick tried to refure a claim and s/he failed miserably.

Similarly, if we know that a man constitutes the seed of the universe, then we can predict with confidence that man constitutes the cosmic system’s end product or output as well. This prediction is falsifiable, provided Håkan and evolutionists of his type can demonstrate that intelligence above and beyond human intelligence exists.

That's falsifiable? Do think that anyone but the most ardent creationist is going to buy into that?

Any paper on the theory of creation has the chance of a snowball in hell.

You are, of course right. Getting creationism published in a peer-reviewed journal is difficult. So would getting the entire script for "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" be.

Oh boy, am I glad that you are on the "intelligent design" side.

My but these pro-ID types are not only full of themselves, but rambling lunatiocs as well....
