What does "Intelligent Design" even mean?

Open up a scientific journal.

Im sure there has got to be a library/college/university/community college within driving distance of your house.

Go there, and ask the library receptionist to point you in the direction of scientific journals on the subject of biological evolution.

You should now be standing in front of a giant case of scientific peer reviewed research into Evolution.



Look, I know you have read the Bible and not much more. But you have got to expand your knowledge.

Put down the mythology, and go read learn something that has basis in fact.
Oh, I've read a whole lot of things, including Darwin's, "Origin of Species", and "The Descent of Man", etc. Have you?
 
Can an amoeba comprehend a galaxy?

An amoeba has no higher thought processes. So an amoeba lacks the ability to understand a galaxy. However, I would have to verify that by scientific data.


Like Anthropogenic Global Warming?

Again, I need to verify this by looking at the research, but as far as I know, Anthropogenic Global Warming is real.

What about thread post #16?

Irrelevant

Much simpler than a pocket watch. Now about those natural selection processes and random chance mutations creating RNA, not even to mention DNA?

RNA and DNA formed through natural chemical reactions that lead to the building blocks of DNA. We are not yet aware of the details of this. We dont know yet.

How else is scientific curiosity and interest sparked, and tentative hypothesis formulation initiated then? Where does that capacity come from?

You are asking a question about why the human mind works the way it works. This is studied in the field of Neuroscience. I have very limited knowledge of this scientific field. If you are looking for an answer, I suggest you open up some peer reviewed scientific journals and start reading.

And what was Darwin's view on his theory, in the absence of adequate definitive, confirming and conclusive data and evidence?

Darwin's personal beliefs are irrelevant. The contents of the book "Origin of Species" are irrelevant. The only relevant data is what has been through the scientific process and entered into the science community through peer review.

Where are you looking for it?

Intelligent Design spent 6 weeks in court. In that time, it was verified that no such scientific peer reviewed research on Intelligent Design existed anywhere in any reputable science journal.
 
No, I'm still in the meeting. We're trying to decide the worst possible way to spend 4 million behind RP's back. Shhhhh.
Your conspiracy is safe with me. Say no more. I wish to preserve my position of plausible deniability.
 
The "Origin of Species" is irrelevant.

The fact that you think it is, really shows that you have no clue what constitutes science.
< ROFLMAO > again! :D

Crank me up a living cell from scratch. Just using chemistry and physics. That's really what the controversy all comes down to now, isn't it? <- BTW, new question. :D

Why is it that Science is not afraid to admit we dont know something?


What is religion so afraid of? Why are they so fearfully of not knowing something? Why are the afraid of the pursuit of knowledge?

Yep, right the first time.

Ego projections.

Same with monogamy.
 
How?


Science: "We dont know yet, but we are working on it."

Intelligent Design: "IT WAS MAGIC!"


how embarrassing




And yes, billions of years ago.

You still working on that ID school curriculum? You planning on walking us through an ID 101 class any time soon?

Seriously. Why the fuck won't any ID-supporters give us some plan here? I don't see anything online either.

Other than finding "holes" in real science, they havn't really added anything to the discussion.

Intelligent Design is a danger to America's scientific standards. I, for one, am not looking forward to the intellectual dark ages the ID proponents ware trying to usher in.
