Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tiger" data-source="post: 133879" data-attributes="member: 353">You’ve packed a lot of dismissive rhetoric into a few lines, but not much substance. Labelling Intelligent Design as “junk” without engaging its actual claims is not an argument — it’s a reflex. At its core, Intelligent Design isn’t a denomination or a doctrine — it’s a label for the commonsense inference that the intricate, ordered complexity we observe in nature is not the result of random, undirected processes, but of purposeful arrangement. That doesn’t require one to be Christian — it only requires one to observe, as William Paley did, that a watch implies a watchmaker.The idea that "God replaces science" is a category error. God does not replace science any more than an author replaces grammar. One accounts for purpose and origin, the other for process and mechanism. Saying that belief in an intelligent cause undermines science is like saying Newton’s belief in the Designer of gravity negated his Principia Mathematica — absurd on its face.What’s truly sinister is not the Discovery Institute, but the growing effort to enforce metaphysical naturalism as the only allowable worldview in public discourse. That’s not science — it’s ideology.And if you’re so confident that the universe is undesigned, then try answering these:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why does DNA contain vast amounts of digitally encoded, hierarchically organized information — the hallmark of language and engineering?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How did the first self-replicating, information-bearing molecule arise from non-living matter without guidance?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why does nature consistently exhibit mathematical order — equations that govern not just patterns, but the very behavior of energy and matter?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How do you explain fine-tuning in the physical constants of the universe without invoking wild, untestable multiverse speculations?</li> </ul>These aren't gaps in knowledge — they’re cracks in the materialist foundation. What Intelligent Design threatens is not science, but scientism — the belief that science alone can answer all meaningful questions. And that belief, ironically, isn’t scientific at all.</blockquote>
