Yeah, mechanisms would be good. But does she mean to say that the "Creator" is prone to bursts of creativity, and down time slumps. Pretty sorry for a omnipotent creator! “They will focus on discovering the mechanisms that drive sudden bursts of creativity.”

Sometimes you wonder whether ID folks are acting like they can't interpret scientific evidence merely because they want to believe in a designer, or whether it's mere stupidity. Since 5 doesn't really have anything to do with ID, her getting the issue wrong indicates that it's just stupidity. If you told any consciousness researcher that the great apes lacked consciousness, you'd get a very puzzled reaction.

The author writes from the perspective of legal justifications for animal protection laws, but the research he sites is cutting edge (I'm a clinical psychologist, but the same studies were cited in my graduate experimental psychology coursework). Does Denyse read? If so, I claim hypothesis 5 falsified!

Prediction 9 seems testable, if you rephrase it as "Genotype and psychological behavior is not correlated". Proven false, but testable. 1 out of 9 is a passing grade these days, is it not? Hey!
