For those who believe in Intelligent design?

Question

I,ve googled it.But I want to know your thoughts. Can you give me a brief synopsis,in your own words,of the basic mechanisms of Intelligent design theory?Thank you

To the obviously angry TMarie:I wasn't asking you to prove anything,you obviously didn't comprehend.I asked what this thery is that you want taught in schools.....I,I,I.......don't DESRVE to learn about god?Your denomination is?

american: sheesh,why can't you comprehend?I HAVE researched it. I wanted to know IN YOUR OWN WORDS what you thought it said. Do you not actually know?

Answer 1

I second your question. I'd like to know exactly what the process was. And then some hard evidence to back it up.

Answer 2

The pseudo-scientific hypothesis behind Intelligent Design is that some organic features are said to be irreducibly complex...so supposedly they could not have evolved from simpler features therefore they indicate a designer, that designer would be God...but this is badly flawed conjecture and can be disproved by scientific study.

Some organic features act like scaffolds and later disappear, just as a bridge will require a scaffold that disappears after completion because it is now redundant. So when Intelligent Design proponents point to a complex feature that is the equivalent of a completed bridge in any organism they say it must have been created by God because they say it is too irreducibly complex to have evolved... whereas the evolutionist will say no, the organic structures or scaffolding that enabled this highly complex feature to evolve from more primitive structures have now become redundant and even though they are no longer here we can show that they were indeed once there and that this is proof of evolution not proof of a designer ...and it also disproves the hypothesis of irreducible complexity too.

Intelligent Design hypothesis is not based on science it is based purely on conjecture but most importantly ID is just plain wrong and that is why the scientific community rejects it entirely.

It is the extra level of nonsense. Let's compare it to speeding. Well pretty much any religion, is driving the speed limit. You're asked to believe in a number of things like an afterlife, gods, and such, which you don't have any real evidence of. So there you are on the tipping point. Still legal. Still logical. You can't prove your beliefs, but they can't be disproved, because who has real data on whether dogs go to heaven? Then you add in dogmatic adherence to a scripture. OK, you've started speeding now. You'v gone from believing in things that you haven't direct proof of, to believing in things, that contradict your experience in reality, merely because you have it on good authority that the world used to work differently. You're willing to buy the idea that unicorns are real, because Grandma tells you one was just here. She then kicks it to an extra level, passing that speeding car. She feels the need to prove the unicorn was here, by adopting a bunch of nonsense science. Elaborate theories about how the unicorn hid its tracks by stepping from glass lawn ornament to glass lawn ornament. See it's that extra level of denial. The fact that she has so little understanding of the scientific method, that she honestly does think that intelligent design somehow is science. She seems to think that you can legislate scientific knowledge, no different than just declaring Pi to be 3, as that would make the math easier.

Answer 4

I believe in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ....who created all things (John 1:1-14)

Intelligent design is just a watered-down way to say it in public without being sued.

Silly politically correct people.......

Answer 5

I think it's biggest flaw is that the natural world is in reality a hostile environment where most species don't adapt and survive- no self respecting deity would ever design anything so flawed.

Answer 6

I think it funny that the only people who have been able to reasonably explain ID are those that think it is a crock.What does THAT tell you

Answer 7

ID teaches that there's a design to the world, as opposed to being a collosal accident that just happened.

Answer 8

Who said you DESERVE any answers or justifications or proof from those who believe in GOD, not intelligent design? It's GOD, your computer won't explode if you write it.
You're asking for US to prove to YOU why we believe. I don't have to prove, explain, or justify ANYTHING to you.
**Not angry, just tired of people who don't believe asking for explanations. You don't deserve to be taken by the hand and given a simple explanation. Get off your a.$$ and learn for yourself.
Besides, why should anyone who does believe waste their time? You say you've googled it, so, why not form your own opinion? That's what intelligent people do.
You don't want the ideas of others, you want people to state their ideas so you can ridicule them.

Answer 9

Magical man who did not need to be created, created everything because everything must have a creator.

Answer 10

Since you're googled it, why ask us? Form your own opinion based on your own research.
