The Blue Board

Here is a small non-religious view about "Intelligent Design" of which there is a tremendous amount of evidence:

Is intelligent design the same as creationism?

No. The theory of intelligent design is simply an effort to empirically detect whether the "apparent design" in nature acknowledged by virtually all biologists is genuine design (the product of an intelligent cause) or is simply the product of an undirected process such as natural selection acting on random variations. Creationism typically starts with a religious text and tries to see how the findings of science can be reconciled to it. Intelligent design starts with the empirical evidence of nature and seeks to ascertain what inferences can be drawn from that evidence. Unlike creationism, the scientific theory of intelligent design does not claim that modern biology can identify whether the intelligent cause detected through science is supernatural.

Honest critics of intelligent design acknowledge the difference between intelligent design and creationism. University of Wisconsin historian of science Ronald Numbers is critical of intelligent design, yet according to the Associated Press, he "agrees the creationist label is inaccurate when it comes to the ID [intelligent design] movement." Why, then, do some Darwinists keep trying to conflate intelligent design with creationism? According to Dr. Numbers, it is because they think such claims are "the easiest way to discredit intelligent design." In other words, the charge that intelligent design is "creationism" is a rhetorical strategy on the part of Darwinists who wish to delegitimize design theory without actually addressing the merits of its case.

Is intelligent design a scientific theory?

Yes. The scientific method is commonly described as a four-step process involving observations, hypothesis, experiments, and conclusion. Intelligent design begins with the observation that intelligent agents produce complex and specified information (CSI). Design theorists hypothesize that if a natural object was designed, it will contain high levels of CSI. Scientists then perform experimental tests upon natural objects to determine if they contain complex and specified information. One easily testable form of CSI is irreducible complexity, which can be discovered by experimentally reverse-engineering biological structures to see if they require all of their parts to function. When ID researchers find irreducible complexity in biology, they conclude that such structures were designed.

Cuz monkeys are awesome.

There are also SCIENTISTS that go into great detail about the flawed arguments of the BBT, and Evolution. Smart and non-religous people. I have seen the evidence on both sides and I absolutely believe in intelligent design, by God and Jesus who came down here and showed us things only God could do. Nobody has been able to refute any of that because there were so many witnesses and writings on him. Atheists are the gullible ones that can see everything around us working together, and believe it and themselves to be a mere ACCIDENT. That is some kookoo thinking, IMO.

But why? Where did right and wrong actually start?

You are either a brilliant, trenchant social satirist or have a brain the size of a walnut... Either way

Lame that this thread is now t-minus 30 seconds to lock though...

The tiniest amount of a thought process will lead to right and wrong. Basically, mammals that aren't actively fighting for their survival on a day to day basis show atleast rudimentary forms of logical thought. Apex predators don't become apex predators because they hit the gym, they've just evolved into the smartest animals in their 'neck of the woods'.

Amazing that that could just explode out of thin air, without being created. How many times have you seen something come from nothing, much less something as complex as the human body? The same arguments you guys have are full of holes just like any theory. We won't know for sure until we meet the Creator, but my appointment is set and I KNOW that he lives in me no matter how stupid or unintelligent you think I am for it. I say the devil is using most atheist' perceived intelligence against them. If you think you're really smart, then you're really dumb. I know this is about to be locked, but God bless you all, and please don't let your mind get in the way of your soul. Later.

Even though this guy is obviously a troll. This line of thinking is still out there. The thought that education and intelligence is evil or a bad thing. That is the really scary output of the creationist argument.

Are you really saying, "screw you and your 30 years of polling numbers?"

About 4/10 Americans, including the majority of presidential nominees from the republican party, think the earth is less than 10,000 years old.

It's not just crazy WBC/baptist stuff. This is the consensus christian opinion in America.
