intelligent design

Hello all I don't know if this was covered before or not. The idea is mine, but I don't know if someone else thought up before me or not. It matters relatively little, since the whole thing has at least some merit. Here goes. It is an indusputable fact that the principle of intelligent design...

Hi all, I've been reading these forums for a while now and decided to make a post to get a question I've been wondering about some time anwsered I couldn't find any real reference to it using the search engine, but if it has been brought up before I'm sure someone will inform me. I'm afraid...

Crusader Richard Dawkins Anti-Christ, Anti-God, & Anti Organized Religion Crusader Richard Dawkins is Anti-Christ, Anti-God, & Anti-Organized Religion Richard Dawkins, a professor at Oxford University and perhaps the world’s most famous atheist, is working diligently to spread his message that...

Let us assume, for the time being, that uncontroversial evidence was found, for an Intelligent Designer. Maybe we discovered the original blue-prints of various life forms, and the labs they were created in. Maybe something even more dramatic than that: Actual communications with the Designer...

In another thread Baby Nemesis links to the article “Insufficient Evidence at Hand for Darwinism” by this apparent advocate of ID, Stephen A. Batzer, Ph.D., P.E., who does not seem to know an awful lot about evolution and biology. Since he might be on his way to creationist fame – other websites...

If anyone has the time or energy, perhaps you can help contribute some responses to this: http://www.uncommondescent.com/faq/ I would, especially, like some information for this one: 4. ID does not make scientifically fruitful predictions. Again, simply false. As just one example of a...

Stumbled across this thread, and I didn't find a reference to it in these forums. Looks like someone made a subtitle track for Expelled that addressed the misinformation presented in the movie. Now if only there were little robot silhouettes as well...

LOL? :confused:

Since the ID crowd try to avoid mentioning God when discussing their "scientific theory", are they open to the possibility that someone or something other than a god is the intelligent designer? Here are a few options I've thought of on the spur of the moment (feel free to add any you can think...

This is a response, mostly, to this old article: http://www.uncommondescent.com/comment-policy/put-a-sock-in-it/ I would like to stick some I.D. proponents with some good "stumpers" not included in their list (or repeat the ones not adequately answered). Here are just a few I have collected...

Why not just have a religious and philosophical studies course? Teaching religion and philosophy, objectively in public schools, seems like the fair thing to do.. They do it at universities.. I think it would be good for the country.. And serve our children to have a more well rounded education...

I've placed this here, because of the content; although, it could probably be crossed-posted. I guess if you can't get ID taught in schools, do the next best thing: attempt to 'question' what's being taught... Courtesy of the Wall Street Journal...

Theists: Which comes first, the grapevine or the grape? Don't dodge this question on your IQ in regard to practical creativity. If you have any practical creativity, how would you answer the question, and why? In not more than fifty filthy theist words. I just want to see if theists have...

Discovery Institute Miffed by Vatican Snub So, the Vatican is essentially admitting that the Bible isn't really true? :popcorn1

Liberty University requires "creation study" courses for biology degrees, etc. I thought this article is pretty interesting: Lynchburg News and Advance The full article discusses recent lectures with Michael Behe and intelligent design. I would think teaching creationism to be at odds with...

Darwin at 200: A Liberator Like Lincoln by Edward Hudgins February 12, 2009 -- Of the two famous men born on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln is the one known as a political liberator. But the other man, Charles Darwin, also deserves recognition on the bicentennial of his birth for his own...

Good news everyone! From Noorderlicht Website (in Dutch):

UVM is the University of Vermont. And I suspect you all know about Ben Stein, the outspoken opponent of evolution. He gave a lecture at UVM last spring on economic matters that was well received. So the University invited him to give the Commencement speech this year, which would have included...

Now that it's early Spring in S. California (Winter only lasts about 2 weeks here), weeds are springing up in my garden. Every year I notice that some weeds seem to be very "intelligent", hiding behind the established shrubs and perennials, as though they were trying to gain a foothold in my...
