Intelligent design

Michael J.

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.
