> Intelligent design holds that Darwin's theory of natural selection over time cannot fully explain the origin of life or the emergence of highly complex life forms. It implies that life on Earth is the product of an unidentified, intelligent force.
I never have understood this. If life on Earth is the product of an
unidentified, intelligent force, then what created this unidentified,
intelligent force? If it has always existed, then why posit its
existence in the first place, when it would be just as logical to
believe that life (on Earth or elsewhere) has always existed? If it
evolved, then why couldn't life as we know it have evolved? if it was
created, then what created the creator of the creator? Now apply
those questions ad infinitum (and ad nauseum).
Intelligent Design answers nothing, it just imposes another layer.
I would have no objection to Intelligent Design being taught in
schools as long as it wasn't taught in a science classroom. Teach it
in a Comparative Religions class, where other creation theories are
given equal time. When my children were still of K-12 age, I would
have been thrilled if "Creation Theories of the World" had been part
of the curriculum.
Does anyone else agree? Disagree?
