Lesson 13/16: Intelligent Design Part 1

Intelligent Design seems like legitimate alternative to the theory of evolution. After all, we know that God created all things and the universe declares his handiwork. But as a scientific theory, can Intelligent Design really teach us anything we didn't already know regarding the technical details of God's handiwork? How does Intelligent Design measure up to the theory evolution in the laboratory?

Intelligence design was infused into our DNA according to Zacharia Sitchin interpretation of the Sumerian Text written on stone Tablets over 6,000 years ago.

We need to look at the work of Zacharia Sitchin and other Anthologists work on Intelligence design.

no pun intended... towards religion or evolutionist followers... but let me say this... all that is, whether you want to say just nature or creator has given humans and the likes plenty to debate over. The whole view of the glass being half full or half empty may come down to neither side truly valuing the the context which can house either view... opposition in my opinion is the true static which causes history to repeat itself in a self defeatist kind of way... no winners, just victims...

[majordrill]

what lacks ( being ) energy and ( intelligence ) could never cause an influx of systematic planets and life forms, no scientist can prove otherwise, to make such an attempt would be nothing more than playing around with a straw man... For the record intelligence explained from a religious perspective is why evolutionist can't seem to accept the inevitable of a creative intelligence. Nature is intelligence with the ability to intend, if void of either then evolution would never occur...

[majordrill]

Explaining the mechanical nature of objects doesn't make things void of a creator... we as humans are responsible for different mechanics that can be explain as our design... Evolution is a part of a systematic approach to creating organization, to view otherwise would be to suggest that all organisms and planets are static and non-functional and lack unique structure, of course we all know better than that. The facts of specified conditions are self evident. This takes intelligence...

@krazykyle56 I will end my long long reply with this: when it comes to explaining the natural world, if we are going to use ID or creationism, society would simply fall back into the dark ages; because evolution is not the number one enemy of God/the Creator. There are many other branches of science that directly oppose and contradict the bible. Branches whose fruits have given us the enriched life we have today. I fear for all of us if we turn our backs now to facts and embrace ignorance.

@krazykyle56 I do not resent you or wish to change your belief system, but anyone who knows at least a bit about genetics, molecular biology, ecosystems, geology, astronomy, taxonomy and many others will tell you that the natural world does not need the supervision of a creator; and all the scientists you listed may have had religious beliefs but they did NOT use the bible or any form of ID science to come up with their theories, I assure you. People often times mistake faith with reality.

[branahawk]

@krazykyle56 you're asking me, a person with no scientific equipment or background in any higher form of science, to test a scientific theory in my backyard? One that, by definition, millions of years to rapidly? (which is not entirely true since it can be observed in more rapidly evolving organisms but whatever) Here's the problem: Anyone can justify God because a cretin can understand creationism. To understand evolution fully, you need to have atleast a basic concept of scientific reality.

[branahawk]

@krazykyle56 if you think evolution is about nothing creating anything, you're uneducated enough to not even deserve a proper reply for me. Do some reading before you attempt to debate me or impose your belief unto me. You're one of those people who believe evolution is about genesis and that the only natural process of evolution is mutation. Read about genetics, natural selection, for Heaven's sake (i thought this might appeal to you), read a science book!

[krazykyle56]

@branahawk The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Einstein, Galileo, and Newton all believed in a Designer. That's where the evidence led them. There is a lot of magic involved in the theory of evolution. How can nothing create anything? Have you ever tested this theory and found it to be true? If not, then why is it called science? Think about all the mutations needed to go from apelike to human. How would these mutations cause more order, when we know that mutations are detrimental?
