If only intelligent design wasn't bullshit.

People who suggest intelligent design are ridiculed by the scientific community because they are stupid.


However, if stupid people in the middle of this country want to teach their stupid kids with books like Of Pandas and People, let them.  It not worth that hastle. 

The average person is rather simple minded.  If superstition comforts them, fine.

On my way to work, there is a billboard for some website.  It depicts 4 pictures of monkey face transforming into a man's face.  Below reads the question; 'Do you want to let them make a monkey out of you?'  There is no point in arguing with any person who agrees with that sign because they are and always will be too stupid/scared to even understand modern science.  They live in their world, I live in mine.

There are scientists whose research shows it is not bullshit.  A scientist with a Phd in biochemistry is stupid just because you don't agree with his conclusions?  How about disproving their theories instead of calling names.  Their research is equally scientific as any other scientists, yet it is suppressed because the establishment does not want a competing theory.  Since when is only one conclusion allowed in science?  Doesn't make any sense.

I'll support Intelligent design when it starts making improvements on Quality of life..

Other Science Theories have brought advancement.  But just for questioning Darwin, that's crazy it's a scientists job to ask questions..

Watch the movie, it contains testimonials from scientists who experienced exactly that.   

One example among many:

Wait what was that proof of?

That "Scientist" that work on Intelligent design or ostracized? Or that it's actually created some sort of benefit?

I want to see an advancement/benefit brought about ID

To elaborate.. What benefits to our daily lives Has ID done.. If a Scientist comes and says hey look at this, we can use this to cure Cancer, great..

Stingray, I'm curious. You say there is evidence of intelligent design, but surely if there was actual hard evidence of it then more scientist would be willing to look at it? Scientists are not by nature close minded people, so I'm sure if there was any grounds to it they wouldn't reject it. Plenty of scientists are Christians, yet they don't believe in ID. ID seems to be an entirely US thing, as I know hundreds of Christians over in Europe, yet all of them consider ID to be complete crap.

Wait a minute, there are scientists that have research that shows God is responsible for the intelligent design of all creatures? Why isn't this a bigger news story? This is huge.

That would suggest they also have proof that God is real. Despite being Christian myself, I'm somewhat sceptical...

Their research points to design by a higher intelligence and it should be a bigger story.  The problem is that people would rather label it as stupid because they don't like the obvious implications instead of looking at the research.

there is nothing scientific about god, or religion. Either you believe, or you don't.

And since ID is essentially based on religion, there is nothing scientific about it either. It cannot be verified through experiments, it cannot make predictions, and it does nothing to enhance our lifes in the future.

the idea that any school would allow to teach ID next to classical evolution, or instead of it, is absurd, and must be fought to the death.

Ah so you have a PhD in biochem yes?  You have dismissed their research as unscientific simply because they have come to conclusions with which you disagree.

You mean that these organism are quite clever in how they can adapt to the nature of their environment? Sounds a little like evolution to me, why does God have to enter into the equation?

You called a man's research unscientific that has a PhD in biochem.  That was my point.  Feel free to disagree, but at least look at their research.

They've scientifically proven the existence of God? This should have been the biggest news of the millenium.  Link to this research please, I'm sure it's published somewhere.

since when does a Phd in Biochemistry prove anything ?

My major problem with ID is that it is essentially an attempt by conservative christians to establish god as the creator of the universe, through a made-up, pseudo-scientific approach.

An attempt to prove that god exists, of you will. But that is religion, not science. Hence my mistrust.

Also, it wasn't me who has "dismissed their research". It was actually the US Academy of Sciences:

"The U.S. National Academy of Sciences has stated that "intelligent design, and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life" are not science because they cannot be tested by experiment, do not generate any predictions, and propose no new hypotheses of their own.[15] The US National Science Teachers Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science have termed it pseudoscience.[16] Others have concurred, and some have called it junk science."

The point is hundreds of thousands of people with Phd's in whatever you like, disagree with this guy.

*sigh* For the 10,000th time, ID is not to scientifically prove God's existence.  It merely points to a higher intelligence because of the design they've discovered in their research.  It is being suppressed from publication because some do not like their conclusions.  That's why this documentary has been made.
