Can anyone tell me in simple terms what the Intelligent Design Theory is?

Question

only serious people can answer this one. no evolution stuff okay?

Answer 1

Ce concept vient de chez vous, les américains :)

Le créationnisme a fait l'objet de beaucoup de débat aux USA, surtout des le système d'éducation, car le créationnisme n'a rien de scientifique.

Pour avoir une plus grand légitimité, on a remplacé le créationnisme par le term plus scientifique > le design intélligent. C'est à peu près la même chose mais pour expliquer la différence je préfère être clair:

I prefer to make the effort to be clear in order to explain the difference between creationism and IDT:

Creationism focused on religious bases, and one All mighty, God above all. It is based on holy writings, very religious.

IDT focused on one intelligence, not GOD in particular, at the root of Life on earth. IDT highlights not the crator, but the fact that life is not a hasard, but the purpose of a will. IDT doesn t use holy writings but scientific bases.

Voila j'espere que j'ai réussi à me faire comprendre :/

Answer 2

Intelligent Design Theory: There exist natural systems that cannot be adequately explained in terms of undirected natural causes and that exhibit features which in any other circumstance we would attribute to intelligence. For example, part of archaeology is finding and identifying signs of intelligence from the past, right? Basically, Intelligent Design is finding and identifying signs of intelligence in biological systems.

You can have Intelligent Design without creationism. In fact, Intelligent Design can be compatible with macroevolution. It says nothing about a god or Flying Spaghetti Monster; it just states that parts of living creatures looked designed. Personally, I believe macroevolution is false, but the ID Theory itself is rather flexible.

Answer 3

Intelligent design is NOT a theory... It is an untested Hyopthesis...

What it says, is that because things have the "Appearance," of design, it must have BEEN designed...

It is ENTIRELY without evidence...

They used to think they had evidence by a thing called, "irreducible complexity." Which means that if something cannot be anything without all of its parts, then it couldn't have had a precursory form from which it could have evolved.

First, they said the Bacterial flagella was irreducible complex, and to see how that is wrong, look here. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB200_1.html

Also, they said Blood clotting is irreducibly complex. That is shown to be wrong, here: http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB200_2.html

They've said protien transport is irreducibly complex, and it is also wrong... http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB200_3.html

They tried the immune system, and it wasn't irreducibly complex either... http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB200_4.html

BESIDES, irreducible complexity ISN'T even a threat to Evolution at all... Look here: http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB200.html

Furthermore, there is nothing about irreducibly complex systems that is positive evidence for design. It is a logical fallacy to assume design based on something that is irreducibly complex...

Basically, ALL that intelligent design is, is a failed attack on Evolution... Besides, It's as good as dead now, after it was declared by a judge in court that it is NOT science, and it is just a relabeling of OLD creationist ideas.

By the way, all the sites I gave are credible... They cite all their sources... They aren't just trying to fool you... It's real stuff.

Answer 4

Intelligence dictates that intelligence didn't come from a puddle
of slime. Intelligent Design suggests a higher intelligence as the
force behind life.
Revelation just told me someone will try to ridicule the use of the
term FORCE. But that is a more accurate description of God, than an old white man sitting on a throne.
God is a whole dimension of reality by Himself. And the source
of all reality.

Answer 5

A belief that we live in a God-created universe instead of the universe spontaneously exploding out of nothing. Personally I think it's a larger leap of faith to believe the big bang just happened randomly and the entire universe just sprang out of nothing.

Answer 6

In order for there to be a design (life), then someone had to design that design (god, or if you prefer, some higher power).

Intellegent Design Theory in a nutshell.

Answer 7

the earth and the universe are too complex and in harmony with one another that this could not have just been a big bang// I dont believe that in the beginning there was nothing and it all exploded do you?

Answer 8

Intelligent Design = Creationism repackaged with a new failed ad campaign

Answer 9

that an unnamed creator made the earth and guided along evolution, as we "see" that it happened. (i think. it's kind of a combination of evolution and creation)

Answer 10

ITS WHEN SCIENTISTS PICK SOMETHING APART, IDT IS ALSO A STUDY OF EVOLUTION THEROIES AND GODS CREATION THEORY, BUT IDT CAN BE USED AS ANY CONCEPT OR EXAMINE THE CREATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF ANY IDEA. SORRY FOR CAPS WASNT RETYPING HOPE THIS HELPS
