in regards to "intelligent design"?

Question

why do i only find that conservative chistians are puching for this to be in schools, i hear nothing from jews and muslims, or for that matter anybody of other faiths!!!???

Answer 1

Jews, on the whole, are very liberal and many of them don't believe in intelligent design. Muslims are smart and most of them don't put their kids in these godless public schools.

Answer 2

I believe that it might be an issue of influence. If there are more Christians then Jews or Muslims, then there is going to be much more influence by the Cristians. If there were more Muslims or Jews, i would believe that they would want public schools to teach some of their teachings.

Answer 3

Flying Spaghetti Monster,regards this concept ,is a model that is
suggested to explain this intelligent design pseudo-science
here is some extract;
ID isn't scientific and it isn't an alternative to natural selection or any other scientific idea. The universe would appear the same to us whether it was designed by God or not. Science tries to explain how the world works, not why we have this world rather than some other world. It is not part of science to try to prove the world was or was not designed by God. It is not the job of science to try to explain the probability of biological developments happening by chance or not. If anyone wants to speculate about such matters, they are free to do so—as metaphysicians. ID is not scientific, but metaphysical. The fact that it has empirical content doesn't make it any more scientific than, say, Spinoza's metaphysics or so-called creation science.

ID is a pseudoscience because it claims to be scientific but is in fact metaphysical. It is based on several philosophical confusions, not the least of which is the notion that the empirical is necessarily scientific. This is false, if by 'empirical' one means originating in or based on observation or experience. Empirical explanations can be scientific or non-scientific. Freud's idea of the Oedipus complex is empirical but it is not scientific. Jung's notion of the collective unconscious is empirical but it is not scientific. Biblical creationism is empirical but it is not scientific. Poetry can be empirical but not scientific.Intelligent design is a modest position theologically and philosophically. It attributes the complexity and diversity of life to intelligence, but does not identify that intelligence with the God of any religious faith or philosophical system. The task for the Christian who accepts intelligent design is therefore to formulate a theology of nature and creation that makes sense of intelligent design in light of one’s Christian faith.

In other words, you Christians know who the intelligent designer is even though we don't mention Him by name!

First L is an A S S!

Muslims don't support it because it does not properly reflect Islam's teaching of Creation. Although we believe in creationism, it is not in accordance with the theory of intelligent design.

Answer 5

Thomas that is because you do not listen. Muslims defintely push for a similar point of view. I know, my Muslim friends always say it. But no one can speak for all Muslims.

I don't know any jews, but that's because i'm in england and their aren't that many. But if they went along the same lines as Genesis and were believers in God - I think some of them would think in a similar way to the theory.

As for the people who rubbish it, all you are doing is putting one theory above the other with no real thought, and then calling everone else uneducated. surely this is the most uneducated viewpoint that someone could possess.

Answer 6

its the way the christians tried to put god into science and it faild in the courts the same way the try with creation and thats just a joke it makes the usa look like fools all over the world

Answer 7

Presumably, members of those other groups can pass a standard biology test and don't need a remedial non-science science class to graduate.

Answer 8

You'll find that Muslims historically, and Jews more recently, have a strong tradition of scientific thinking. They know that intelligent design is the stupidest hokum ever.

Answer 9

Because the other faiths are largely concerned with spiritual matters.


The xtians have been fighting science since Copernicus.

Answer 10

Why just have one theory offered? Evolution has never been proven to even be remotely possible. Yet it's the only theory being taught. Why not offer all the possibilities instead of just cramming one due to political differences?
