What stops intelligent design from explaining other sciences?

Question

I am perplexed as to why IDists push ID into the biology forum when their 'theory' is so vague that it can be used for all other sciences. You would think such a grand unifying theory could have multiple applications.

Frank D. "A true scientist would consider this as one of many possible theories to explain the known universe, until it is disproven."

I think a majority of scientists would disagree with assuming a theory until it is disproven, especially when the 'theory' itself cannot be disproven. I would say most scientists work empirically. Theories by definition need experiments and evidence to support it: lacking evidence to disprove it does not equate to evidence for it. Scientists consider possibilities leading from previous findings, and not by all possibilities.

Answer 1

God is reason of all reasons.

Because God does not only design, with His All-Knowledge and All-Power, He creates what He want with mercy and with many purposes together with perfect design.

Design is one of the result of creation with many purposes so when you approach other sciences with that intelligent design and designer approach you think alittle bit limited.

Answer 2

It's actually the other way around. Intelligent Design is just one possible explanation for phenomena for which we have no explanation. A true scientist would consider this as one of many possible theories to explain the known universe, until it is disproven. It's also relevant to physics. Why do the physical laws, particles, fields, and forces have the properties they have? Most of these properties would prevent the existence of our universe if they were changed just slightly. Where did all the matter and energy come from for the big bang?

There's good reason for it to be emphasized in biology. When you look at the incredible function of DNA that works the same in all life as we know it, it's really hard to believe that this all happened by accident.

I wouldn't quite call intelligent design a theory. We don't understand it nearly well enough to do that. I think we should just admit we don't understand it, and stop trying to rule out ID, especially when we don't have a better explanation.

Response: No, we don't "assume a theory until it is disproven". But we keep an open mind to each relevant idea until that idea is disproven, or until some alternative wins with the preponderance of evidence. What you describe is not how science works. There are no experiments or evidence for superstring theory. Yet scientists are working on it, and others are working on quantum gravity and other alternatives.

Answer 3

via fact yet another definition of identity is psychological defeatism. that's with the help of the fact, whilst they arrive for the duration of something they don't comprehend, they say no you could actually comprehend it and subsequently goddidit, and there is little need attempting to look into it any added. that's the reason identity stops technology. added "yet what occurred or how issues got here approximately some time past seems beside the point to our maximum mandatory scientific advances today, alongside with in technologies." shows how a lot you learn approximately evolution and why you're a technology stopper. Evolution is ongoing. Why do you think of you are going to be able to desire to get a clean vaccine each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days to seize up on the flu virus that has stepped forward an version against the only you had final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days? additionally, multiple technologies and different fields of examine of today are consistent with evolutionary concept. Get out of your confining identity field. added: "yet Eri’s occasion from astrophysics would not address how scientific or chemical scientific progression have been hindered via the secure State concept." that's with the help of the fact the only has no longer something to do with the different. Your assertion is nonsensical. "identity proponents do no longer provide up on coming up new flu vaccines." Why ought to they? the form of latest flu vaccines is thru properly commonly used and understood scientific approaches. there is not any longer something inexplicable approximately it. If an IDer got here across something inexplicable approximately it, he could say, "properly, we can't clarify it, so goddidit and there is not any experience in pursuing it any added." IDers seem for issues that are apparently inexplicable so they are in a position to apply it as information for their "smart dressmaker" somewhat than doing actual examine in an attempt to locate solutions. that's shown extremely properly with their examples of "irreducible complexity," all of that have been shown to be fallaceous.

Answer 4

Intelligent design is just a renaming of Creationism ....Creationism was an attempt to debunk Evolution .....Biology.... so Intelligent design is still trying to do the same thing debunk evolution ... Biology

to understand it all one must go back to the Scopes trial years ago ...it is all about the Christian fundamentalists refusing to believe in evolution and they will try anything and keep on trying ....unfortunately it weakens our education system and confuses young students with what is real science and what is pseudo science...

Answer 5

You've hit on one of the key weaknesses of ID.

Because it explains everything, it explains nothing.

An explanation is a description of something complex in terms of something simpler. ID does the opposite. It explains complex things in terms of something more complex.

And since the complexity of the 'designer' is unlimited, it can be used to explain *any* natural phenomenon ... except with an explanation that doesn't actually 'explain' anything at all.

Answer 6

ID is not science in the sense that it is not verifiable and does not make verifiable predictions.

In essence it says "whatever you find to be the reason for something happening, then ID predicts that God caused the reason". This is plainly absurd and hardly deserves time on here.

Religion has historically been and remains the principal obstacle to human and scientific progress. ID is simply its latest guise. Ignore it.

Answer 7

Because ID is religion in disguise and genesis is the way things were " created ", so biology, having a natural explanation, must bear the brunt of the vitriol thrown by these types.
