What Intelligent Design Seems To Ignore
I’m actually not writing this as an attack or even criticism of ID.
Its been bothering me for quite a while that supporters of ID can’t understand why it doesn’t belong in science classes.
The core reason is that these people don’t understand what science is. They think that science is a quest for truth, for fact. Many scientists will agree, but it isn’t hard to find one who doesn’t, and who instead sees science as a tool that adequately describes the universe for our purposes (big difference there).
The thing is, that’s only half the game. Science is both goal AND method. Even if ID were true, it STILL wouldn’t be science because it doesn’t follow the scientific method.
Look, lets suppose I wanted to let people know about the plight of starving countries around the globe. I might make a big old presentation about covering the economics and policy decisions surrounding the situation it with PowerPoint charts and note cards, and hand outs, and so forth. Or, I might write a fiction novel, or paint a picture, or make a documentary. All of these things might get us to the truth, but we would not say they were the same. In a policy context, we’d probably use the presentation, in an ethics class, maybe the novel and documentary. And, sometimes there would be cross-over in context and genre, but it would always be notable as an exception. My point is that we wouldn’t go before congress and read the novel, nor would we show the presentation in a literature class. The PowerPoint slides aren’t literature, and the novel isn’t a congressional report.
The same applies with Intelligent Design. It may be true, it is, in fact, impossible to say that it CAN’T be true (which is one of the reasons it isn’t a science). But even if God (or an alien, or whatever) himself came down and spoke to every scientist in the world and told them that ID was true, it STILL wouldn’t be science. And any definition of science that would allow for it would be virtually meaningless, or, at least, useless.
And that’s why ID doesn’t belong in a science class.

A Thing that has not yet been disproved … can hold it’s reasonable assumption that it exist …. And as long as a Thing remain unproven, it can maintain it’s greatest possibility of being so … Indeed in this world … Intelligent Design has faltered … but because the beautiful and shinning crystal glass was shattered when it fell to the floor … doesn’t mean it’s Superior Design didn’t exist before it’s fragments were disarranged …
Knowing that the We of an Intelligent Mind Soul, are Beings of a ‘’Complex Designed Circuitry of Intelligent Energy’ .. and knowing that Soul is that ghost-like Energy which engulfs the Mind at all times …. and knowing that the Spirit is but the accelerated state of any energy … I am comfortable rooted in the knowledge that we were brought into existence by the Master Creator …
We are product of the Master Creator …. A ‘’Living Entity of ‘Charged Plasma Energy’ … a Being of the greatest intelligence known and unknown …. One who did create and do hold firm the very Designed Foundation of all Worlds created … that same One who sit in Highest position of all Her Creations of 9 Universal Planes … and who in doing so established each upper and lower Planes Inner 4 Dimensional Levels … all of which are held in placed by the stabilizing accomplishments of Quantum Frequencies ….
Of such A Creator is said …. if Her Changed Physical Form of a Shiny Black Shape Shifting Mass of Plasma unto a Voltage Form of Lightening, were to step down from Her hidden Place there in the First Dimensional Level of the First Universal Plane …. and were to take journey through our known universe of expanded darkness … Her appearance would stand as a Five Figurative Form of Blue Lightening …. taller than any known Nebula …. and that spiraling galaxies would be as tiny lily pads coupling each Her every gigantic Footsteps …. and that each lily pad of a galaxy, would buckle to fall in scattered debris at Her passing … So Knowing what I am sure of … there is no need to debate rather or not the We of Intelligent Mind Souls were Designed or a mishap of evolutionized procedures of natural developments … I stand In full knowledge of my Creator … I am just an Old Sold passing through, with something important to say ….…
