PhotographyAs I was asked over and over again about the meaning about ID (intelligent design), I recommend all of you to read the FAQ of the “Intelligent Design Society of Kansas” – it is very helpful in understanding the whole religion/evolution/ID issue.
If I may give some example:
Isn’t the “Intelligent Designer” just another way of saying “God”?
* Of course not. The Intelligent Designer could be advanced aliens or the Christian God. We don’t say which.
If it could be either aliens or God, why does your logo show the Christian God?
* We had to pick one or the other, and it just happened to be that one. We definitely don’t rule aliens out.
Do you really believe it could be aliens?
* No.
Is Intelligent Design scientific?
* Yes, didn’t you see that we italicized scientific all over the place?
Does evolution violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
* Boy does it ever! It violates it everywhere. The second law of thermodynamics says that evolution can’t happen, but biologists still say evolution happens.
It seems like Intelligent Design isn’t a theory itself, it’s just a collection of arguments against evolution.
* Technically, that’s not a question, it’s a statement, so there’s no need to answer it here.
