There are a lot of false urban legends promoted in academia about intelligent design (ID). They often start with myths promoted by misinformed critiques in scientific journals, court rulings, or even talks by activists at scientific conferences. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for this misinformation to then be passed down to college students, who may know very little about ID and lack the resources to correct their professors’ misinformed and misplaced attacks on ID. Not anymore.
If you’re a college student, recently gone back to school and expecting to hear a lot of anti-ID views from your professors, we’re pleased to present this “Back to School Guide” for students...

your experiment has nothing to do with biology. It is a non=sequiteur.
“So someone tell me, how would you do an experiment to test for intelligent design?”
You may not like where it would lead but so what?
Kind of a lot like evolutionary principles are supposed to be able to be applied to other areas outside biology.
“The scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation ... His religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.”
Albert Einstein
Hey, thanks for the quote. I’ll add it to my collection of quotes on ID by great scientists. Of course the evolutionists will deny that it has anything to do with ID. Why? Beats me. All I can figure is that they have their heads in their butts.
You can add this one too.
"The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism." (Albert Einstein)
Naw, I think I’ll skip that one. It reminds me of why I am not a great admirer of Einstein. Yes, he was a great scientist, but he’s not the god some think he is. He did apparently “believe in” ID, however, and that is significant to me. It puts him in the ID camp with Newton, Pascal, Henry, Faraday, Kelvin, and Pasteur. Gosh, that sounds like the SI (metric) system of units! Do you think maybe they knew something?
But your test didn’t test for design. It tested for prejudice.
I knew you had that already.
“G-d, send us the cure. The sickness we have already.”
I rather thought the fellow who could chip out arrow heads and turn it into a weapon or hunting tool had a good bit of intelligence in what he designed but I was intent on the process of determining what is or is not design.
It’s like beauty, everyone thinks they can recognize it but few really can explain what they are describing.
Newton didn't believe in Salvation or that Jesus was the Son of God.
Is God the 'designer' you refer to?
Let’s pray he is forgiven for that.
ID? Intelligent Designer? Is that God?
I don't think Newton believed in prayer either. Besides it is too late for prayer to help him.
That's not to say nothing came of it, look at your reaction to the possibility of being asked to explain how you might determine what is artifice and what is accident.
Like so many Darwinists posting here when you have to explain you quickly refrain.
I thought God did it?
Please explain why you are latching onto the Intelligent Designer and not God?
It would help to have the original plans.
I said nothing about the Intelligent Designer so there was no “latching”. Pay attention. please.
To get grants.
Wow. Quite the archery contest tonight.
Why is it faith vs. science threads end up with the most vitriol of attacks between disciplines?
