A Few Snotty Questions for "Intelligent Designers"
by Jeff Clothier
A simple test for whether an idea is being treated as "scientific" or "religious" is whether the holder of that notion would abandon it in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Despite "gaps", evolution and the processes that underpin it - variation, selection, adaptation - are widely observable in nature, can be manipulated in the laboratory, and are responsible for advances in medicine and biology. It is the scientific theory that best fits the facts at hand and has lead to actual progress in knowledge and practical application. If this were not true, ethical scientists and teachers of science would readily abandon the theory in favor of one that showed results.
I would ask so-called Creation Scientists and proponents of Intelligent Design whether they would abandon their notion in the face of contrary facts, or would they hold onto it like flat-Earthers or those who condemned Galileo? What practical applications or scientific advances has ID delivered? What can it possibly deliver in the future?
Should we continue to do research into stock breeding, hybrid crops, genetic improvement, prevention of birth defects, new medicines and cures for cancer? Or should we merely wait for upgrades from the Intelligent Designer?
