Where did I D come from?

Question

Who came up with this idea-how did it start. Anyone really know?

.......So, no one knows........?

Answer 1

It was manufactured by the Discovery Institute as a way to try to legally shoe-horn creationism into public education under the guise that it is science. The discussion of the idea's development and incursion into public schools is best laid forth in the PBS Nova program, "Judgment Day," which can be viewed on the Nova website or on YouTube.

Answer 2

It's just a new way for Christians to try to teach creationism in the schools. I'm not sure which one of the first came up with the idea,

Answer 3

It came from the ashes of creationism's defeat in Edwards vs. Aguillard.

The creationists knew that since the USSC had declared creationism non-science, they had to rebrand. The Discovery Institute was formed, a conservative think tank in Seattle. UC Berkeley law professor Philip Johnson came up with the Wedge Strategy, while William Dembski, Jonathan Wells and Jon Sarfati worked on Intelligent design, with the intent of hiding its Christianity. "Teach the controversy" became their slogan.

The movement's entire history is well chronicled in "Creationism's Trojan Horse" by Barbara Forrest and Paul R. Gross.

Answer 4

The Discovery Institute, a Seatle-based think tank.
Of course SETI came up with the idea first, but the Discovery Institute gave it a fancy title.

Answer 5

Intelligent Design is the new age way to combat and old problem... the bible is made up and as we get smarter the bible makes itself look silly. If priests and preachers want to keep there business then they must prove to people that it isn't all bullshit. Hence ID

Answer 6

According to Wiki "Its primary proponents, all of whom are associated with the Discovery Institute" ... which is a think tank in Seattle Washinton.

Answer 7

watch judgment day: intelligent design on trial. they specifically refer to how creationism got changed to intelligent design. apparently, creationism was originally wanted to be taught in public schools, but due to a clause in the first amendment which prevents congress from promoting any religion, creationism had to be taken out of schoolbooks because it promotes christianity. the editors went to work on taking every reference of creationism out and replacing them with intelligent design. the editors, however, were sloppy. in early drafts of textbooks that were trying to push intelligent design there are instances where the c- and -ism in creationism were accidentally left in.

Answer 8

I D came from the people who really have the ambition to do something(I DO).

Creationists.

Answer 10

ID is the name of repackaged creationism. The idea is from Genesis in the bible.
