- Attempts to have ID taught in public schools have been defeated in court, and science papers proposing a "designer" usually cannot get past peer review — although not for reasons of prejudice against the subject matter. Intelligent design has been widely criticised for its failure to state what mechanism drives it, its lack of falsifiability, and many other problems that leave it lacking as a scientific theory
Isn't that interesting; Intelligent design has been widely criticized for its failure to state
what mechanism drives it?
It means that it has zero explanatory power. And thus doesn't qualify as science at all. Kind of logical that it's not acceptable to have it taught in science classes then, right?
But that wasn't my point though.
My point was about the term "
cdesign proponentsists".
The backstory of that term kind of exposes what a bunch of frauds and liars those people are.
-its lack of falsifiability
Ah, the Atheists/Evolutionist got us there! I mean how could anyone test Intelligent Design, .. what mechanism could possibly be applied to
disprove Creation by Intelligent Design?
Well, we could put a rock in water and wait for life to pop out into it? (Something Kent Hovind is working on, and for years, nothing, no sign of life) but yeah, it takes time to get life out of a rock, like millions and billions of Carl Sagan years as scientists have observed.
Kent Hovind, ha?
Good grief.
Ow and newsflash: in science, just like explanatory power - falsifiability / testability is kind of an important criteria.
See, this is exactly why Michael Behe had to
change the definition of "scientific theory" so that it would ALSO include pseudo-science, before he could claim that ID is a scientific theory. Under his definition, horoscopes also qualify as science. As per his own admission.
Get a hint.
You mean a BB-Evolution journal.
A science journal.
Yes, BB and evolution are proper scientific theories. Unlike ID, they are both testable, falsifiable and offer great explanatory power.
No scientist has ever observed a species speciate into another distinct species, .. like gorilla to human.
If gorilla's evolved into humans, then evolution theory is wrong.
Count on a creationist, to demand "proof of evolution", while what he really asks for would falsify evolution instead.
That's how good a grasp you have on this theory that you are hellbend on arguing against.....
I'll never understand how one can think to be qualified to argue against a scientific theory, while having absolutely no understanding of that theory at all.
Nobody uses the prefix, not even dictionaries.
The christian faith = religious faith.
You know well that both the word Evolution by chaotic environmental effects has been changed to mean science, and Intelligent Design has been turned to mean 'blind faith'.
Evolution has always been a scientific theory. Not because it is simply asserted to be, but because it demonstrably fits the criteria that a scientific theory must meet.
ID is blind faith, because it is just creationism disguised in a lab coat. Creationism is a religious belief. Don't lie about this. Your "D" is none other then the God you read about in Genesis. And the only reason you adhere to this ID / creationism stuff, is because it is part of your religious faith.
Not because of any evidence or actual rational scientific reason... But simply because it is what you already believe. Religiously.
