INTELLIGENT DESIGN


We all have read the many books and manuscripts concerning the most talked topic in the US. Special since it is not seen as a science by the US courts, Intellectual Design.
From the point of view of some one who does not know the in and out’s of the discussion Intellectual design is a rather easy subject to explain but from the science side of the subject it is seen as a non existing.

The question of proof only arises if the believers of intelligent design feel that they are being pressurised to explain intellectual design. The problem is then that they fall in the natural evolution trap.

Young earth believers are already hit with enough evidence to put there theory into the dustbin.
The intellectual design, the creationist are hit with the old slogan as only fools take the bible serious and they point to similar stories from other tribes long before Abraham walks the earth.
The believers of intellectual design, the creationist are then hitting back with their most acceptable version, also not proven, the non-creating possibilities of DNA concerning early life.

The creationist are keeping themselves to the bible without explaining the word itself as there is no explanation other then the bible, without wanting to explain every word every occurrence every move as it was the absolute truth.

They do not have to explain, because in the beginning there was the Word, and forget about the rest. The timetable, the flood, the age of the pre-Noah humans. This just because although to the bible, God said in the beginning there was the word and the word was good. For Creationist the believers in intelligent design that is all there is to know, the rest as the saying goes, is history.

However, Jesus then is the next question. However, does this really matter what they believed he was, regardless of he was Joshua the son of Joseph and Maria, or the God’s son or Jesus the saviour as his followers called him. The Jews saw him as a fake. The Muslims as prophet and the Christians as the Son of God. It does not really matter what there is to believe as so long it is not based on unfounded stories made in a time writing was unknown for another 1000 of years or so, it leaves the hearsay. Hearsay was and is never a reliable source.

Does this mean the religions are wrong? Religions are never wrong as there believe is based on a belief which has to be believed before it is a belief and if that belief is there then the religion to which that believe belongs is never wrong.

However, does this means that a God does not exist. Again, this rest on the pillars of believe if that believe is wrong than God does not exist but if it is right it does. That believe is in the eye of the beholder of that believe, never ridicule someone’s belief as it leaves you open to be ridiculed your self.
Humans need to believe because that gives them something to belong and regardless what ever view in life humans have they always wants to belong; it is a tribe instinctive act, to belong.
Regardless of this is to a religion a society or what else is available to belong.

The point is never reject humans view because it is not yours respect for their convictions will result in respect for your convictions.

The question after all this is still open what intellectual design is; In short, it is a belief.
The believer beliefs that on a certain place in time God created heaven and earth and all that is on and in it, not based on science, search or research, without handing any proof, but as the natural evolutionist are not able (yet) to prove otherwise they say this proofs our point.

The believer simple points to an intellectual design with the bible in his hand, there is the proof and as we have already pointed out that this is no proof, means they have no proof, the evolutionist see this as clamping straws.

We pass over the so many time brought forwards repeatedly of the same defence by the creationist, the believers in intellectual design, the micro and macroevolution scoring points. This is a repeat
argument, which so far did not proof anything. It only tells us what the situation is today at the beginning of the search. It certainly does not proof that the bible is right. It certainly not proofs Gods word, that in the beginning there was the word, all though they see that as all the proof needed.

The evolutionist just smiles, they can point out that this is no proof, but then again let them believe what they want to believe if that make them happy, and if will given time, the evolutionist will research further in the search for what did really happen.

For both the believer of intellectual design the creationist and the natural evolutionist there still too many butts in place. The believers of intellectual design believe they have the answer in the form of the bible and the lack of solid evidence of the natural evolutionist. Evolutionist however has time on their side and the search for the answer is only just started. With the development of new equipment new research possibilities and time, they will come to an answer.

The maybe even can proof at the end of the research that there was an intelligent design, in our generation we doubt of the answer can be found. GEWK.
