I see no problem with this combination. Since the scientific community has yet to explain the Big Bang Theory, which goes against all know laws of physics...Bodies at rest, tend to stay at rest...so what caused the Big Bang. Then we have the matter of our brain. How could evolution explain the fact that we only use 10% of our brain's capacity? What kind of natural selection could cause this phonomia? With an Intelligent Design all the answers are quit simple. With Intelligent Design time is no longer an issue so it could take billions and billions or years and it wouldn't matter. Have set rules and set back and let them evolve. With Alpha Omega there is no beginning and no end. The whole universe is totally amazing. Let's relax and enjoy it.

Intelligent design is not a theory. Religion has no place in a science class just like a physicist has no place giving a sermon in a protestant church. Newtons first law does not apply in big bang theory, and just because current theories can't fully explain the evidence does not mean you discard the evidence, it means you look for a better theory. Saying god did it is not science. Humans use 100% of their brain NOT 10%. Let me say this again HUMANS USE 100% OF THEIR BRAIN. ID is taught and discussed in a class where it belongs, philosophy. Keep it there.

*sigh* Because a real scientist would rather say "I don't know, let's look at what we can disprove" than say "I don't know so it must be a supreme being what done it". Because evolution has been observed and studied and withstood the best that the scientific community can throw at it and come out standing, while ID is a "God of the gaps" solution, and therefore thoroughly unscientific.
10% of the brain? Rubbish. That nonsense was thrown out decades ago. 10% of the brain is neurons. We used to think that this was the only cell in the brain involved in thought. Turns out the remaining 90% (glial cells) have their function as well, we just didn't know what it was at the time.
Big bang goes against laws of physics? Rubbish. We just don't know the laws that apply in that situation. Yet.
Have set rules and sit back and let them evolve. Err, yes. Why do you need to invoke a designer for this to be true? That just begs the question "Who designed the designer?" as an Intelligent Designer is clearly far too complex to have come into being unaided. And if anyone then says "It doesn't have to be" then the correct response is "Well then neither does the universe".
The whole universe is totally amazing. Yes. So why spoil it by reaching at unfounded assumptions?

Let's go point by point here, shall we?
--The Big Bang has not even the slightest damned thing to do with evolution.
--The "fact" that we only use 10% of our brains is a myth. About 10% is in use at any given moment, but it all gets used at some time or another.
--Some of us are not content with "relax[ing] and enjoy[ing] it." Some of us would like to know how it works. All of the evidence would indicate that life occurs via evolution.

In order for a theory to be considered scientific it has to be testable. This means that you have to be able to conduct an experiment that is capable of producing a result that would disprove the theory. Take the theory of gravity, I can through a ball into the air and it falls back down and hits the earth. But if I threw the ball in the air and it stayed there, then I would know that the theory of gravity is wrong.
The problem with intelligent design is that it is not testable. By its very nature, an observation made could be explained by the statement god made it so. There is no way do disprove it. Thus it is not a science and should not be taught in biology.

Intelligent Design is NOT science. Science is the seeking of truth through rigorous testing. Intelligent design is just a shitty concept thought of by creationists in the 1980s trying to keep up with the discoveries of science.
wow, are you serious about how the big bang theory goes against all laws of physics? The Big Bang theory was thought up because of a thorough understanding of the Law of Thermodynamics, Newton's Law of Motion and Quantum Mechanics. The reason why it happened? We don't know yet.. see yet is the key word here.
You also say that Intelligent design, all the answers are quite simple. Is that just an excuse for being f*cking lazy and not trying to understand the concepts of physics, biology and chemistry that actually do explain our world before you can compare the two? Wow, you are so ignorant seriously. Learn both topics before you can assert which one is more convincing.
and to the above poster Rev Albert Einstein. EINSTEIN WAS AN AGNOSTIC. "Einstein stated that "My position concerning God is that of an agnostic." JEZZ LOOK EINSTEIN UP BEFORE YOU MAKE ASSUMPTIONS GOD. And 90% of the population of the united states may believe in god but that doesn't mean that those stats are reliable. 90% of the educated population is either agnostic or atheist or nonreligious. You are making ridiculous claims that have no proof.
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.

Is, 'intelligent design,' your way of saying, creationism? If not, intelligent design incorporates natures most efficient ways of doing things. Animal joints are duplicated in many machines.

When I was in school they didn't teach either in Bio classes. Its like they just sidestepped the whole thing lol
BTW evolution is taught in a number of Christian colleges and is now accepted as FACT by religious schools. The only thing undecided is who/what is responsible for it.

Is that your goal, to "relax and enjoy" the Bible's "quit (sic) simple" explanations? Will this calm your brow furrowed by things "the scientific community has yet to explain"? Curiosity is a natural itch that needs such an inert but soothing salve for simple folk that require simple explanations, so go for it. Just keep your *@&%$!!! religion out of our public schools, 'cause that's what it is. Everyone who matters is on to you.

I completely agree with you. The Eddas clearly state that the frost giant Ymir and the primeval world-cow Audhumbla created the world. They go on to tell us that after Ymir drank Audhumbla's milk, his armpit sweat begat the various gods and giants. The gods overthrew and killed Ymir, and then Odin made people out of tree trunks.
It really upsets me that none of this is taught in science classes. After all, it explains EVERYTHING!!

Becuase it's religion based thinly disgiused creationism. Keep religion out of public schools.
Oh by the way which intelligent design are you going to teach http://www.livescience.com/history/top10_intelligent_designs.html
