Intelligent design


Michael J. Behe, Ph.D., Professor, Biochemistry, Department of Biological Sciences, Lehigh University   http://www.lehigh.edu/~inbios/faculty/behe.html   says  "Many molecular systems in the cell require multiple components in order to function. I have dubbed such systems "irreducibly complex." ... I have proposed that a better explanation is that such systems were deliberately designed by an intelligent agent."
    But just to note, the Department Position on Evolution and "Intelligent Design"   http://www.lehigh.edu/bio/news/evolution.htm   says "The department faculty, then, are unequivocal in their support of evolutionary theory, which has its roots in the seminal work of Charles Darwin and has been supported by findings accumulated over 140 years. The sole dissenter from this position, Prof. Michael Behe, is a well-known proponent of "intelligent design." While we respect Prof. Behe's right to express his views, they are his alone and are in no way endorsed by the department. It is our collective position that intelligent design has no basis in science, has not been tested experimentally, and should not be regarded as scientific."


Donald Simanek has some info about Intelligent Design   http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/philosop/creation.htm   including listings of the ID leaders.


James F. McGrath, Assistant Professor of Religion at Butler University, Indianapolis   http://blue.butler.edu/~jfmcgrat/   has a whole bunch of links, but also says "And so historical study of Jesus raises issues and questions that historical study itself cannot answer. ... 


The Evolution Controversy   http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/FTrials/conlaw/evolution.htm   Some history, some links, kind of from the legal perspective.


Intelligent Design on trial   http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/   from pbs, including a video of the show.  Also see pbs's evolution page   http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/   with more info


Talk.origins   http://www.talkorigins.org/    is a Usenet newsgroup devoted to the discussion and debate of biological and physical origins.


The Clergy Letter Project   http://www.butler.edu/clergyproject/rel_evol_sun.htm   The Clergy Letter Project is an endeavor designed to demonstrate that religion and science can be compatible and to elevate the quality of the debate of this issue.

I'v recently found this interesting site Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. See more info here about this interesting creationism theory.
