What is one-word synonym for intelligent design?
Many people believe that creationism is a one word synonym for intelligent design. Though this is not true, I hope it may be the answer you are looking for.
How did 19th century Americans view the concept of intelligent design?
ID is a recent reformatting of the concepts of creationism.
Is intelligent design the same as creationism?
For the most part, yes, but there are some key differences. Intelligent Design (ID) does not mention who is the creator or deity. Creationism is based strictly on the Bible teachings in the book of Genesis. Either way, they both believe that humans are too complex to have been designed by evolution or natural selection.
What is the difference between a creationist and an Intelligent Design proponent?
Intelligent Design proponents are creationists, but not all creationists are Intelligent Design proponents. Proponents of Intelligent Design insist that it is not Creationism because it is not a specifically religious hypothesis. They hoped to convince the United States Supreme Court that their hypothesis is not based on religious beliefs and should be treated in law in the same way as is science. However, evidence presented to the Supreme Court showed that Intelligent Design is Creationism under another name, and that its proponents had always intended it to be so.For more information, 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.
The intelligent design movement seeks scientific backings for creationism?
The Intelligent Design movement has been seeking scientific backing for creationism since the late twentieth century. Unfortunately for the movement, no such support has been forthcoming, nor is it likely to come, since so-called Intelligent Design is unsupported by facts or evidence.
Explain why intelligent design is not a testable theory?
Creationism, intelligent design, and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life or of species are not science because they are not testable by the methods of science. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses. Intelligent design relies on supernatural explanations that are often not testable nor reproducible. When testable 'experiments' are conducted their conclusions neither lend support or disprove anything with respect to intelligent design. They merely allow for a convenient segway to talk about creationism and other arguments which rely on faith.
What are some good websites for creationism?
Creationism is the belief that the earth and living things derive from explicit acts of Divine Creation. For young-Earth creationists, this comprises a literal understanding of the Book of Genesis and the disbelief in Evolution. Here are some websites for creationism including young-earth, old-earth, and intelligent design creationism. Answers in Genesis: Young-earth creationist department, which operates a Creation Museum. Access Research Network: Advocates of Intellectual Design Creationism. Center for Science and Culture: Intelligent design belief. Part of the Seattle-based Discovery Institute. Creation Ministries International: Young-earth creationists. Creation Research Society: Research arm of the creation Institute. Institute for Creation Research: A central group of young-earth creationism.
What was Charles Darwin interested in?
Charles Darwin was anaturalist, he also had a keen interest in questioning whether or not creation was the true earthly origin. funny though, many scientists now call creationism intelligent design, but are considering the possibility of Alien creators, but then, that would be another form of intelligent design, wouldn't it?
In what year was intelligent design thought of?
Barbara Forrest describes the intelligent design movement as beginning in 1984 when Jon A. Buell's religious organisation the Foundation for Thought and Ethics published The Mystery of Life's Origin by creationist and chemist Charles Thaxton. The idea for intelligent design came about because the United States courts rejected the teaching of creationism, and then 'creation science', as science in the school syllabus. The proponents of intelligent design hoped that the courts would accept intelligent design as a suitable topic for a science course, taught alongside, or instead of, evolution.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

What are the differences and similarities between creationism intelligent design and evolution?
The first two say "gee - it's so complicated somebody must have planed it" along with the extra ego trip that says that we're pretty special. Evolution says that one single rule can generate complexity from simplicity. (The rule is let the weak weed themselves out - we call it death.) Forget the God argument ... He could have invented evolution too. In fact, it would take a superior sort of entity to do do so.
