Does Intelligent Design Have Merit?

Does Intelligent Design Have Merit?

With about 70 billion stars and as many as 100 million life forms (at least here on Earth), the universe is a stunningly complex place. Did all of this matter evolve independently, or was it guided by a larger force – as proponents of intelligent design believe? With the debate raging in living rooms, classrooms and courtrooms, the stakes are high when it comes to determining intelligent design’s merit.

    And did anyone notice

    Casey relies on the fallacy that undermining evolution somehow provides merit to ID. Funny that he decided not to address the lack of merit of ID.

    Come to think of it, perhaps understandable, as a lawyer, what else is left to do but to attempt to impugn the witnesses.

    It did not work during Dover v Kitzmiller where Casey and the DI were outclassed by the NCSE and the many witnesses, and it will not work here.

    It should be clear to all now that ID is unable to defend itself against even the simplest observations that ID has remained scientifically vacuous. I bet that is by design.
