Trying again: Where can I get a document that is to intelligent design as Origin of Species is to biology?

Question

Not a textbook used in Texas -- textbooks are different. This would be what the textbook is BASED ON. This would be one of those documents with two or three citations per sentence -- you know the kind.

I have free time this summer. I would actually like to review this document first-hand. But I can't find it. All I can find are pop-sci books critical of evolution.

It doesn't even have to be peer-reviewed. (Because I know that would be a show-stopper for ID.)

Answer 1

The Bible isn't cited, it is full of plagiarized information.
Maybe try this website: http://www.idurc.org/

or check out this bunch of crap: http://www.idurc.org/papersarchive.htm
Not exactly what u want, but u can get some laughs out of them.

Maybe this book: http://www.amazon.com/Intelligent-Design-Between-Science-Theology/dp/0830815813

Answer 2

There is none. And let's be clear, "Intelligent Design" is not any kind of science. It is simply a neo-fundamentalist euphemism for Biblical Creationism. Since the Constitution prohibits religious indoctrination in public schools, fundamentalists came up with "Intelligent Design" to replace "Creationism" in a renewed attempt to get their religious beliefs, masquerading as science, taught in public schools.

The closest document to what you're looking for is of course the Bible. But as great as that book is, even the Bible is not on a scientific par with "The Origin of Species." No disrespect meant to the Bible or its believers. I say that because Origin of Species was written as a scientific hypothesis, open to peer review, intensely challenged and questioned, critically analyzed for logical and scientific accuracy, and modified continually as new facts presented themselves.

The Bible, by contrast, is a statement of faith, accepted as truth without question or challenge (by some) even when physical evidence, observation, and logic dictate otherwise. It is protected from modification by charges of "blasphemy," and is not subject to true critical analysis or refutation (at least by most believers).

So I'm sorry to tell you that by definition there is no Christian document on "intelligent design" that is analogous to the "Origin of Species." One is based on faith alone, the other on observation, logic, and critical analysis.

Answer 3

attempt posting on the ARN message board and spot what people deliver your way. There won't be an equivilant to foundation in identity. there's no equivilent for relativity, working example, there are basically a pair seminal papers. yet what you're searching for probable would not exist. The e book that substitute into touted simply by fact the identity textbook, Pandas and individuals, substitute into actually a Creationist textbook that have been given rewritten in the wake of appropriate courtroom rulings agaisnt Creationism. the main charitable way i ought to sumerize identity may be: there is stuff it is designed. there is stuff that seems to a pair poeple like it substitute into designed. There exist techniques to quantify layout, (yet we don't genuinely have a working thank you to try this), and while those (non-existant) techniques are utilized to biology, they show layout.

Here is a really good explanation of ID from a mathematical point of view...it's not a book, its a website, but I found it to be very interesting nonetheless:

Answer 5

try goog;e-ing books by Alistair McGrath. I'm sure he's written something on this but can't remember the specific title

Answer 6

There is no such document; there is no need for it. There can be no such thing as a scientific answer to a question of faith. You don't have to 'prove' creationism, you must simply accept it.

Answer 7

The Bible; of course, there are some problems with peer review there....

Answer 8

Happy hunting...!

Answer 9

embarrassingly enough it would have to be the book of Genesis
