Synopsis
In a nutshell:
- Evolution (gradual change over time) is not at issue. The question is whether the Darwinian paradigm of evolution (random mutation culled by natural selection) is sufficiently attested by the evidence.
- Darwinism is not sufficiently attested to by physical or physiological evidence to warrant its status as "scientific fact", particularly in light of the unobservability and non-repeatability of its claims as well as basic evidentiary flaws (e.g., misinterpreted and over-interpreted fossils).
- Intelligent Design is based on formalized and objective criteria for assessing deliberate causation (already understood, accepted, and applied in fields like forensics and archeology).
- Intelligent Design is not an attempt to sneak religion in through a nominally scientific side door. Darwinism, however, is -- in the form of naturalism and other varieties of scientistic groupthink.
Doc's Take
A good layman's primer on the problems with Darwinist orthodoxy and its influence in the realms of education, politics, science, and culture.
