What are the evidence presented in court for Charles Darwin theory of intelligent design?
Not sure how to answer this as scientific theories are not subject to the law but are supported by overwhelming evidence. The only time that evolution or the theory that supports it is in a court of law is when some public school somewhere, or some state somewhere tries to introduce religion into the classroom disguised inder the terms creation " science : or intelligent design.There is no theory of evolution put forward by Charles Darwin that includes intelligent design. If fact the theory of evolution by natural selection is the antithesis of intelligent design.
What is atheistic intelligent design?
atheistic intelligent design is the theory that everything has been designed, but the creator is not God or a supernatural entity. John Gribbin is an atheistic intelligent design proponent and he concludes human beings are infact the creators of the universe, he calls his theory the "designer multiverse theory" it is a type of atheistic intelligent design. Other atheistic intelligent design proponents include some Buddhists and idealist philosophers who conclude every object in the universe is created from the mind of humans but objects do not exist when nobody is looking at them, what keeps them in existence is experience, Ernst Mach was an atheist who supported this, he called his theory phenomenalism the theory concludes there are no mind independent objects, only sensations are real.
Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe in intelligent design or in Darwin's theory of evolution?
According to their Watchtower web site:Evolutionary theory and the teachings of Christ are incompatible.So they absolutely reject Evolution as defined by the theory that life arose from inanimate chemicals, formed into self-replicating cells, and slowly developed into more and more complex creatures, with man being the most intelligent of its productions.As far as intelligent design is concerned, they also suggest that it does not go far enough. Intelligent Design only theorizes that life, or the universe, cannot have arisen by chance and was designed and created by some intelligent entity. Jehovah's Witnesses state unequivocally that specifically God created everything, not just some vague "intelligent entity." In that respect, their beliefs are compatible with intelligent design but intelligent design does not go far enough.

Which Public schools teach intelligent design?
Public schools in the United States are not permitted to teach intelligent design as a scientific theory in science classes due to the separation of church and state outlined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Teaching intelligent design as part of a science curriculum has been legally challenged in several court cases, with rulings consistently upholding the separation of church and state. Some private or religious schools may include intelligent design in their curriculum.
What does the church think of intelligent design?
A few years ago, some members of the creationism movement adopted the name 'intelligent design' in an attempt to persuade the United States courts that not only was creationism science but that its advocates were neutral as to who the 'intelligent designer' was. Some creationists, who would otherwise be supportive of the Intelligent Design movement, are bitterly opposed to Intelligent Design because they resist any hypothesis that does not clearly and unambiguously put God at the centre of creation.Among the churches, there are different views on this so-called Intelligent Design. For example:In the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict has refused to endorse "intelligent design", instead backing "theistic evolution" which considers that God created life through evolution with no clash between religion and science. The position of the Catholic Church is in favour of the Theory of Evolution, not the obviously artificial construct of Intelligent Design.The Episcopal Church has said that the theory of evolution does not conflict with Christian faith. In 2006, the General Convention affirmed, via Resolution A129, that God is creator and added that "the theory of evolution provides a fruitful and unifying scientific explanation for the emergence of life on earth, that many theological interpretations of origins can readily embrace an evolutionary outlook, and that an acceptance of evolution is entirely compatible with an authentic and living Christian faith." This leaves no room for Intelligent Design.For more information on the background of the Intelligent Design movement, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What are the differences between evolution creationism and intelligent design?
All three teachings purport to have some bearing on the origination of man - but that's about the extent of the similarities. Evolutionary theory is the scientific model that explains how all modern species diverged from common ancestors. Creationism is the school of thought that teaches that (some interpretation of) holy scripture is literally true, and that mankind was created by God or gods, specially and separate from all other lifeforms. Intelligent design in its most general form does not reject evolutionary theory, but states that a guiding intelligence must have been involved in the divergence of lifeforms as they approached modernity. It may be seen as an attempt by religiously-minded people to reconcile their theistic beliefs with scientific findings, but it may also be seen as an attempt by creationists to insert their religious beliefs into science. It has been said that intelligent design is actually a form of creationism in disguise, and a response to the outlawing of the teaching of creationism in public schools. Some proponents of intelligent design (seemingly) accept the notion of common descent, while others outright reject it, reducing their intepretation of intelligent design to a more fundamental form of creationism. The basic teachings of intelligent design vary, depending on the person you ask, or the time and context in which you ask.
What is one more scientific fact proving intelligent design?
== == There is no evidence for intelligent design. Nor are there any current facts to 'prove' or falsify it. Since there are none so far, no more can be found. Also, a slight technicality; nothing can be proven exactly, just endless predictions can be confirmed (in a correct theory) by observation. No observations or predictions exist in Intelligent Design, so it is not scientific and would not be 'provable' or refutable.
