Understanding Intelligent Design

Understanding Intelligent Design

Seminar by Paul Nelson PhD.

Seattle Creation Conference, October 2010.

Description: According to its critics, intelligent design (ID) is simply creationism repackaged to evade constitutional challenges in the public school science classroom. This criticism, however, ignores both the real history of ID and its actual content. ID is not so much a theory about life's history -- because ID supporters differ widely in their views about the details of Earth history -- but a proposal that design is empirically detectable, and thus a fit subject for scientific analysis. In his talk, Dr. Nelson will explain what ID is and what it is not.
