give me the definition of "intelligent design" in a nut shell please.

What book are you reading that from, Mimio? Interesting paraphrase.
No, they should just teach what science observes. :)

for grunnt
"Intelligent Design (or ID) is the controversial assertion which states that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by positing an intelligent designer. The majority of ID advocates state that their focus is on detecting evidence of design in nature, without regard to who or what the designer might be. However, ID advocate William Dembski in his book "The Design Inference"[1] lists God or an alien life force as two possible options. Despite ID sometimes being called Intelligent Design Theory, the scientific community does not recognise ID as a scientific theory and considers it to be creationist pseudoscience. Both the Intelligent Design concept and the associated movement have come under considerable criticism."

It's called the book of Genesis from the "Bible", perhaps you've heard of it? Amazingly similar to this ID "movement".

gruntt,
That due to the irreducible complexity of biological systems, the finite nature of the universe (had a beginning), and a few other key reasons, the universe and life would have to have been created by an intelligent entity, as opposed to causeless naturalistic processes.

Mimio, yes the Bible says that God created the universe and life. ID proponents simply say that an intelligent designer created everything. Not necessarily the God of the Bible.
- gruntt0
will this intelligent design thing affect the price of beer?
ok then.
- discipler0
share specifically how it's disingenuous, Mimio.

(Aug 2 05, 13:04)naahh, that is a lost battle
- discipler0
haha, we can only hope not gruntt.
Although it might make us stop to think that we were created with a purpose as opposed to just being sophisticated apes, and that maybe we should take care of our bodies. ;)

there is no way of ever knowing, until fire rains out of the sky and rivers turn to bile and piss.
when this happens, I will start a thread and apologize to discipler.
