People who have made discoveries in the past that have challenge faith positions have only been able to do so by not allowing religion to cloud their judgment.

| - Abbreviated as: I.D., sometimes D.T.(for divine truth). Creationism Intelligent Design is the truth that God created the Earth and all of the Universe around 6000 years ago, shortly before the Chinese. Intelligent design is the scientific fact that God created the universe (for more information about that, read the Bible). It is opposed by the theory of evolution, that was created by godless liberal communist (and probably Muslim) monkeys, as was Darwin himself. After all it makes perfect sense that God would create the Universe in exactly 7 days even though the sun and the earth weren't created for the first couple of these. It also makes perfect sense that he wouldn't create man and woman at the same time but would create Adam first (while speaking about himself in plural) and create Eve some time later from Adams rib.
- Intelligent Design Theory, or ID is a religious argument which attempts to replace the Theory of Evolution. In other words, it attempts to eliminate two of the fundamental evolutionary ideas - that evolution acts through natural selection and unguided evolution. While a small percentage of ID proponents may acknowledge the religious basis of their belief, the vast majority jump through intellectual hoops to avoid the admission. In essence, believers in ID maintain that some elements of life have the appearance of having been designed and in this they are obviously correct. Some things do have the appearance of being designed. Where they go wrong is then jumping to conclusion that because things look designed, then they actually were designed. Stephen J Gould was especially good at pointing out the flaws in nature - a dead give-away that nature was not designed. Intelligent design is claimed by some believers in Old Earth Creationism to be the mechanism behind Theistic evolution.
- Advocates of intelligent design argue that it is a "scientific" theory, and seek to fundamentally redefine science to accept supernatural explanations [1]. However, ID is at best a way of explaining what we don't yet know by saying god did it, but as that has no valid data or provable hypothesis it is in no way scientific.

- Intelligent design (ID) is a scientific theory that states that the universe and its inhabitants could not have evolved by the "blind chance" set forth in Darwinism. Its arguments are mostly concerned with what it considers to be holes in the theory of evolution, and it claims that these holes scientifically prove the presence of an "intelligent designer" in nature. Unlike creationism, ID does not state that God is the intelligent designer. It only says that there is clear evidence in nature of intelligent design. The designer in ID could be God, but it could also be an extraterrestrial race or some other supernatural force. Also, ID does not draw its arguments directly from the Christian Bible. But while it does acknowledge the possibility of slight evolutionary changes within a species, it does not recognize the possibility of one species evolving from another nor the chance of highly complex biological systems resulting from natural selection. ID proponents have stated that they aim to debunk Darwinism as the dominant origin theory and to remove naturalism -- the belief that everything around us can be explained by natural causes -- from both science and culture.

More specifically, Intelligent design adherents believe that there exist instances of irreducible complexity, which in their view are impossible to evolve and therefore must have been created by an intelligent designer. The creation of life is just one aspect of the general idea that there are things that cannot just happen and that must occur by the intervention of mind. In his book Contact, Carl Sagan explored the kind of objective evidence that would be needed in order to support the idea that the universe had been created. Sagan suggested that a creator of the universe might have "signed his work" by building a coded message into the physical laws of the universe. Would finding such a code turn Intelligent design into a true science?

The intelligent cause is often identified with God, although the Discovery Institute denies any religious basis for the theory. While an overwhelming majority of ID proponents of this view are Christian or Jewish, there are some atheists/agnostics who propose that aliens seeded life on earth billions of years ago and/or revised it along the way. The two cornerstones of ID argumentation are irreducible complexity and specified complexity. These large terms mean simply that some processes seem to not be reducible to simple forms without loosing all their functionality and that some very complex systems seem perfectly suited to their task in nature.

Scientists propose hypotheses, conduct rigorous experiments, Bizarrely, many Cdesign proponentsists claim that ID has nothing to do with Creationism or religion, when even one of the founders of the ID movement explicitly says its purpose is to get people thinking about Jesus. ID's main "arguments" are to try to poke holes in evolution, under the presumption that if current evolutionary theory is wrong, then ID must be right. See also: false dichotomy. Most of the objections ID raises are at best valid critiques, and at worst, flat out wrong and deceptive. The main weakness of ID is its central argument, that life is too complex to have evolved on its own, so it must have been created by an Intelligent Designer. Of course, they conveniently ignore the fact that this Designer must itself be rather complex, so it would need to have been created as well, ad infinitum.

- Intelligent design is the empirically testable theory that the natural world shows signs of having been designed by a purposeful, intelligent force. The central idea of Intelligent Design theory is that design is empirically detectable, just as the detectability of design in man-made objects is straightforward, non-controversial, and often intuitive; see design detection. With respect to the origin and development of cosmological and biological systems, Intelligent Design theory holds that the same principles provide a logical inference of design in nature. That is, without necessarily "proving" actual intelligent design in nature, the observable material evidence provides a reasonable basis from which to infer design, and such an inference supports a legitimate scientific hypothesis of intelligent design. As such, Intelligent Design theory is a scientific disagreement with the core claim of materialistic theories of evolution such as chemical and Darwinian evolution that the design exhibited in our universe is merely apparent design, i.e., unintelligent design caused by unguided, purposeless, natural forces of physics and chemistry alone. In a broader sense, Intelligent Design is simply the science of design detection -- how to recognize patterns arranged by an intelligent cause for a purpose. Design detection is used in a number of scientific fields, including anthropology, archeology, forensic sciences, cryptanalysis and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). An inference that certain cosmological and biological features of the natural world may be the product of an intelligent cause can be tested or evaluated in the same manner as scientists daily test for design in other sciences. Intelligent Design theory, like all theories of origins, is scientifically and religiously controversial. All theories of origins are scientifically controversial because they often amount to subjective historical narratives that seek to explain unobserved and unobservable singular past events that occurred many years ago and that cannot be adequately tested in the laboratory. They are religiously controversial because all religions, including non-theistic religions, depend on a particular origins narrative. Intelligent Design proponents believe institutions of science, including government agencies, public schools and universities, should strive for objectivity and academic freedom in facilitating origins teaching and research. Objectivity in the evaluation and interpretation of material evidence ensures that all evidence-based explanations for natural phenomena can be considered fairly on their respective merits, regardless of their ultimate metaphysical or religious implications. Institutions of science should promote objectivity and academic freedom, especially where minority viewpoints challenge scientific orthodoxy.
