Some of my issues with "intelligent design."
I am currently at second year university biology level and starting third year genetics next semester.

This distinction I assume was created by creationists because they know they can??t object to micro it??s too obvious. It??s pretty much the same tactic religious people always use.
Something else is proved wrong, so they just keep going with the other bullshit.
No one in science believes that anything ??is complete and infallible fact?
Only religious people believe things like that.
Scientists look at all the data we have, think up some ideas that explain it. And accept the best one. If more data is complied which contradict something. Our views change.
Eventually a ??theory? explains so much information and is constantly correctly predicting amazing things (eg, genetics) and this theory has little or nothing against it, we start to consider it fact. Just as we consider theories of electricity/gravity and so on, fact.
I cant ??prove? electrons exist to you. Nor can I ??prove? evolution occurred.
We essential accept the best solution. And even if creationism was equal to evolution in it??s explanatory ability (it is not) science always accepts the simplest solution (it??s called Occam??s Razor)
I suggest you inform yourself on the Theory before you try to speak against it. Because if everyone on here understood evolutionary theory, we wouldn??t be having these discussions.harris7 Reviewed by harris7 on . Some of my issues with "intelligent design." I don't mean this as an attack on anybody for holding such beliefs, but I do bleieve it's essential to give serious and logical consideration to both sides of such a claim. It's nobody's "fault" for holding beliefs for or against god, but merely their belief that their reasoning is sound, is what's faulty. That being said... INTELLIGENT DESIGN: Before considering intelligent design, also consider this; does it not seem a bit suspicious to you that that we carry SO many behavioral Rating: 5
