That isn't what I was saying, although that's an interesting tangent. I think what I was saying was that there is a different intelligence test that's analogous to the Turing Test but doesn't require a dialogue. Call it the Scopes Monkey Test, or something. But I don't have a good definition of how something passes this test, other than "the ID people think this looks like it was designed by an intelligence". Which is somewhat of a tautology. But it's hard to avoid tautologies when discussing unfalsifiable claims. (And natural selection is sort of a tautology itself: things that are better at surviving survive.)
