| | (mostly) Rationally Speaking |
| | The same is true for intelligent design: it isn't science, and there is no philosophically intermediate position between science and religion. | | | Moreover, when students started asking questions about intelligent design, the administrators left the classroom, suggesting that questions on the matter should be asked at home. | | | It was an interesting experience in the sense that I thought Wells conceded so many points that one would conclude that there is no real reason to debate the issue at all. |

| | FAQ: Is ID just a negative argument against evolution? |
| | If this appears as a "negative argument against evolution" it is only because this unique test case of irreducible complexity is a strong prediction of intelligent design (due to the high complex-specified information content of irreducible complexity) and just happens to be anti-predicted by a competing hypothesis, Darwinian evolution. | | | Design proponents do not argue against evolution merely because that is what proves design, but because in these special cases, the falsification of evolution also entails a matched positive prediction of intelligent design theory, because intelligent design predicts the exact opposite of evolution. | | | Intelligent design is not merely a negative argument against evolution, but is inferred because of its positive predictions of how we understand designers to operate. |

| | Life's Grand Design |
| | Intelligent design proposes much the same mechanism, except that the production of extra copies and their modification to suit the embryo were a matter of intentional design, not chance and natural selection. | | | The concept of intelligent design is particularly clear on one point: organisms have been designed to meet the distinct needs of their lifestyles and environments, not to reflect an evolutionary history. | | | There is no reason, from the standpoint of intelligent design, for the human embryo to produce an empty yolk sac. |

| | Although "intelligent design" advocates often claim that they are only arguing for the existence of a "designer", who may or may not be God, all the leading advocates do believe that the designer is God, and frequently accompany their allegedly scientific arguments with discussion of religious issues, especially when addressing religious audiences. | | | Intelligent Design advocates frequently make vague appeals to "information" in support of their arguments, claiming that the information in living organisms cannot be generated except by intelligent design. | | | A major distinguishing feature of "intelligent design" is the attempt to shift the focus of the debate away from the details of Earth history and towards more abstract concepts such as "design" or "teleology", terms which are rarely used in a non-question-begging manner. |

| | Intelligent design theory 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. | | | Intelligent design theory is supported by doctoral scientists, researchers and theorists at a number of universities, colleges, and research institutes around the world. | | | The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection. |

| | Intelligent design movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Intelligent design is an attempt to recast religious dogma in an effort to reintroduce the teaching of biblical creationism to public school science classrooms; the intelligent design movement is an effort to reshape American society into a theocracy, primarily through education. | | | The intelligent design movement primarily campaigns on two fronts: a public relations campaign meant to influence the popular media and sway public opinion; and an aggressive lobbying campaign to cultivate support for the teaching of intelligent design amongst policymakers and the wider educational community. | | | Principal intelligent design proponents have stated a unified goal of greatly undermining or eliminating altogether the teaching of evolution in public school science and to also secure recognition of creationists claims of scientific legitimacy by opening the door to supernatural explanations. |

| | Intelligent design theory makes inferences based upon observations about the types of complexity that can be produced by the action of intelligent agents vs. the types of information that can be produced through purely natural processes to infer that life was designed by an intelligence. | | | Intelligent design theory is based solely upon applying observations about intelligent action and principles of information theory to the construction of biological systems, and nothing more. | | | Critics of intelligent design have argued that although we may observe through experience that various structures are always made by intelligence, we can still argue that they were constructed by natural processes. |
