edit proposition
Further, it argues from the inane position that ID needs to be refuted, not proven, and that irreducible complexity is in some way this test that totally verifies ID. Irreducible complexity is not definitive proof of ID (nor is it right, numerous tests have proven it to be untrue), the same way vestigial organs, DNA records, and a gigantic fossil record that supports our understanding of evolution, etc. etc. are not definitive proof of evolution.

The main feature distinguishing signals produced by a transmitter from those produced by natural processes is their spectral width…. Such narrow-band signals are what all SETI experiments look for. Other tell-tale characteristics include a signal that is completely polarized '''or the existence of coded information''' on the signal. …|accessdate=2011-12-03}}</ref><references/>
