What do u think? Darwin's evolution or Intelligent Design . Which one is acceptable?

Answer 1

Evolution is 100% world-wide accepted fact, including the evolution of man.

There is ZERO evidence for a higher being causing anything. This is why people who are religious need faith, you can't see or study the actions of a deity, by definition. Evolution has ZERO faith and ALL evidence.

Scientists (real ones) have been studying and supporting evolution for over 150 years, and still nothing has pointed to creationism. There is clear links and transitional forms between everything in the fossil record to the Class-Family level, if not Genus-Species level. And this includes humans, which there are several 'missing links' which are well described and studied, people just choose to ignore this. Sure, there are still things we don't know, but that's why science is not stagnant and dead. We learn more every day, that's what happens when you keep an open mind and follow the scientific method.

ID is nothing more than disguised creationism and has no merit in science, because it is only based on faith, not data and evidence.

Let me turn your question around, if Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago.

Go to a museum, take a class in biology, go to reputable sites on the Internet (like AAAS: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/evolution ) and find out for yourself.

Answer 2

Without getting into a religions discussion just consider this:
Children resemble their parents but are not absolutly identical.
Not all children will live long enough to have children.
Those 2 statements describe evolution and it is very hard to disagree with either of them. If you accept both those statements then you have no choice but to accept evolution. There is nothing more to evolution than this. The only way intelligent design can get in here is by saying that children that 'the intelligence' does not want do not lhave children - this might ot might not be correct but is unprovable even in theory so is not science.

Answer 3

Astronomy or Astrology? Chemistry or Alchemy? Mathematics or Numerology? Round Earth or Flat Earth? Sense or Nonsense?Evolution perfected is most acceptable to me, because there is much evidence for it. Darwin lived long ago,so there have been updates in his theory. Intelligent design is just the latest verion of Genesis creation-creationism-creation science. One cannot update a naive myth scientifically. ID has a pseudo-science guise, so that it will be taught in science classes, but there is no evidence for it at all. Some people try to have their cake and eat it too by saying both are valid in different ways. That is sheer nonsense. They cannot both be valid, and many preachers know it. They want to continue to collect offerings for telling people fantasies, so they fight to keep people from learning better than the naive myths they teach. Faith is just blind belief, and one accomplishes nothing by blinding himself and turning off his ability to reason. If Evolution loses to ID, the USA is in big trouble. Many other lands have more people who believe Evolution than we do, so they are getting ahead of us in science. Ignoramuses have destroyed their nations in the past. Don't let it happen again!

Answer 4

It depends. If you are asking which is acceptable as a science then it is evolution. If you are asking which is acceptable as anything other than as a science then you need to ask this question in a different forum. You might try religon. As for all the people who believe that evolution is a fact I have one thing to say to you; Evolution is a theory based on facts. Stop calling evolution a fact, it isn't.

Answer 5

Only evolution, I'm afraid - there is no evidence at all for intelligent design. Simply saying things appear too complex not to have been designed doesn't cut it.

Take the snowflake, for example. Each one has a unique complex and beautiful pattern. Nobody would try to claim that this is evidence that each snowflake was designed.

Answer 6

Both are not only "acceptable" but essential. Not "Darwin's" evolution, which was a simplistic initial theory, but modern evolutionary biology. Creation and evolution go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. Things can't evolve (change) until they exist. Things don't exist until they come into existence (are created). Creation addresses the issue of initial cause and initial origins. Evolution addresses the observable fact of ongoing change in things which already exist. there is no conflict between the two, and one cannot exist without the other. Things cannot change until they exist, and things cannot come into existence without immediately beginning to change.

Answer 7

Evolution is acceptable as a scientific theory, because it is theoretically possible to someday disprove it, because it is built on tests and evidence.
Intelligent Design is acceptable as an article of faith, because it is built on FAITH. There is no way to disprove it, because you either believe it or you don't. There is nothing anyone can discover that will ever prove it wrong. This is not to be confused with the idea that this means it is constantly proved right.
See the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory (link below) as an example of a theory based on faith rather than on systematic research.

Answer 8

If everything was created by intelligent design, then it stands to reason the source of the intelligence that created the design should in itself have been created. In other words if God created everything, who (or what) created God?

I find the Darwinian approach a lot easier to take on board, than the concept that everything was created by some big guy upstairs. I once placed a half cup of coffee under my bed (to prevent it accidentally getting kicked over). I forgot all about it until months later, by which time it had evolved into a big green carpet of fluff, unfortunately my behaviour didn't have the my home grown mold down on its knees singing my praises and offering me thanks for creating it. It just had my mum yelling at me for being a slob.

Answer 9

It's not a question of 'acceptable', it's which is true and which is a load of old cobblers! Evolution is an established fact, completely proved by evidence, from comparative anatomy, genetics and the fossil record. ID is a shabby creationist trick to get religion to replace science in the classroom.

Answer 10

Stepwise changes by intelligent design but Darwin's evolution is operative.
