Intelligent Design Isn’t Science

October 17, 2005

Intelligent design has no place to go as a theory. A scientific theory is an attempt to explain the observed facts and to, hopefully, provide insight to make predictions about possible future discoveries.

If intelligent design is a scientific theory, what facts does it attempt to explain? The vast majority of its literature is nothing more than a diatribe against evolution.

Intelligent design says the nature of life’s beginnings is too complicated and therefore cannot be explained or understood. Thus, it has nowhere to go scientifically.
