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.

    On Forrest

    "Forrest, who has written a history of ID, was an expert witness in the Dover case, and her piece recounts the various personal attacks and snide comments she had to endure during the trial. (See it here: http://www.csicop.org/intelligentdesignwatch/kitzmiller.html .)"

    She's got nothing on ID now: http://www.evolutionnews.org/2006/08/response_to_barbara_forrests_k.html

    for god sakes...


    He was a judge. Not a molecular biologist...

    why is it we have to argue things that are completely unarguable? Of course he didn't understand the intricacies of the case for ID--- HE WAS A JUDGE. Anyone claiming that he DID understand the subject matter completely is being intellectually dishonest - since people in the field itself have varying levels of understanding when it comes to the subject matter -- and they actually do it for a living...

    And to make statements about how Forrest had to deal with insults and snide remarks from the other side.... cry me a river - I'm sure you guys were nothing but saints right?
