Best Answer

Intelligent design is an ideology based on skepticism of proven facts and scientific inquiry. It is based on the idea that life could only have been started by a "Creator" without providing any evidence to back up that claim.

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.


Why is design and technology so important?

Design and Technology plays a vital role in the development of the generation that are going through the education system at the moment. Developing children to be critical and self reflective learners who are able to work and think in a intellectual and intelligent manner is something of a natural development within design and technology due to the methodological order of the design process. Not only does the subject promote the understanding and knowledge within a wide scope ranging from history for inspirational sources and research to the scientific breakdown of materials or processes the subject with its religious design process promotes pupils to think within the " higher order thinking skills" that is being urged into the education system along with assessment to make the generation of pupils very intellectual and intelligent thinkers independently. I believe Design and Technology is under appreciated for the crucial part it has in developing young individuals to be skilled, confident and hard working who can reach out to the realms of the unknown within their creative thinking to keep developing and creating great products and gadgets that we will in time, not be able to live without or have life saving/changing attributes. Would we be where we are today if it wasn't for the subject? or would be 100s of years behind?

What is meant by intelligent design?

It is the term used by fundamentalist Christian protestants for the religious belief that the creation story in Genesis in the Bible is literal truth. They like to refer to this as a "scientific" theory, but since they can make no verifiable claims about the world from the theory, it is not. What these people do not realize is that the Bible is an allegory, and its stories teach ways to be a better person. One can have faith and not also believe that the universe was created in a literal 6 days.

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.

Why does intelligent design seem appealing if not convincing to some people?

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.


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.
