Best Answer

Intelligent design's popularity is derived from it's apparent ability for people to reconcile science with their inherent religious beliefs. People would much rather choose to still believe in their God and use intelligent design to explain nature (no mater how flawed, and unscientific it is) rather than actually understand the truth of evolution.

What is one-word synonym for intelligent design?

Who do Intelligent Design people believe in?

The principal proponents of "Intelligent Design", such as the creationist Discovery Institute, claim that Intelligent Design is not a religious argument, and they are therefore neutral as to who the Designer actually is. In practice, virtually all proponents of this hypothesis are Christians. They therefore believe in the Abrahamic God, and seek to have people believe that Intelligent Design proves his existence.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation


Why do people who believe in Catholicism don't agree with evolution?

It is not forbidden by Catholicism to believe in evolution. The reason many people who believe in a god do not believe in evolution is that evolution's adversary, Intelligent Design, makes far more sense to one who believes in God that anyone who does not, although you can believe in intelligent design and not believe in God.

Is the design argument a convincing argument?

The design argument, which posits that the complexity and order in the universe suggest a designer, is convincing to some people because it provides a logical explanation for the existence of complex systems. However, others find it unconvincing due to alternative explanations, like natural selection, and the lack of direct evidence for a designer. Ultimately, the persuasiveness of the design argument can vary depending on an individual's perspective and beliefs.

Why do Darwin and evolution weaken the design argument?

Strictly speaking, this question is in the wrong order, because Charles Darwin and evolution pre-dated the intelligent design argument.At the time of Charles Darwin, in the nineteenth century, most people in Europe and the Americas believed that God created all living things just as we see them now. Thus, there was no reason for the intelligent design argument, which holds that if evolution occurred then it must have been guided by an unseen deity.Intelligent design is in part a political phenomenon, created in the United States because the Courts rejected the teaching of creationism, and then 'creation science', as science in the school syllabus. The proponents of intelligent design believed that, by separating claims for the existence of God from their hypothesis about design of living organisms, the courts would accept intelligent design as a suitable topic for a science course, taught alongside, or instead of, evolution. However, this was as weak an argument as those previously submitted for creationism and creation science, and intelligent design continues to be regarded as a religious argument, not a scientific one.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
