Intelligend Design is Like Marxist History

• Evolutionary Theory

Is ID so unscientific that you can't even call it pseudoscience?

It is sometimes complained that IDers resemble the Marxist historians who always found a way to modify and reframe their theory so it evades any possible falsification, never offering an experimental procedure by which ID could in principle be falsified. To my mind, this complaint is warranted indeed. But the primary problem is not with the intellectual honesty of IDers, but with the nature of their theory. The theory simply cannot be fashioned to make any potentially falsified predictions, and therefore cannot earn entry into the game of science.

Is Intelligent Design a Bad Scientific Theory or a Non-Scientific Theory?

I think that "intelligent design" is Orwellian double speak. You can only have intelligence when you obtain information from other people and things that already exist. Since when does God need information from others? If no person or thing existed before him, there is no one or thing for him to get it from any way. Plato's Republic advocated the worship of a nameless unitarian deity that would be compulsory for every one. One wikipedia blogger called the "republic" the first communist book ever written. Richard, I'm glad that someone other than myself made this kind of connection between marxism and intelligent design, even though from different viewpoints. I believe in Jesus. I don't believe that a state-controlled school system should have any right to teach religion to our children. If a parent wants their child to learn about it, the parent should teach it. I just became a parent, and that shall be my job. I also believe that ID is a cop-out. It's a unitarian snow-job. ID isn't Christian. Trying to force creationism into a school-system that is state-administrated is trespassing, which isn't Christian. It is my opinion that those who believe in Jesus should have nothing to do with "intelligent design" or any attempt to sneak it into schools.

I think that the spiritual life is seperate than science...but then again its not.at the same time you have science operating you also have all source of energy working everything we work with whether it be product..a complete creation or the creator itself it all works together..now as for science trying to capture the main source of energy itself impossiable ..the reason why every one seems to hit a desd end in their figuring out is because God teaches indivisuals...if God is really doing the teaching its one person at a time or God being all powerful it could be 15 people at a time I amagine the creator and his creations in the spiritual realm can be any where at any time or the same time it has to be that miraculus..okay....I amagine God created enough spiritual beings to be where they should when they should or where ever they should we need not to put any limits on all source of energy...when it comes to figureing out which church has all the answers impossiable every church seems to have a different style or belief I only hope principles can remain the same...I think the most safe way of coming to beleive is by seeking the almighty as a indivisual yes we are able to learn from one another thats the way life is created to be also but everytime I seem to reach out to another human being it seems to always lead me right back to the main source. As example some one like Jesus Christ he taught all of us folks how he alone was able to communicate with God all source of energy ...Jesus Christ came as a teacher, a helper, a healer, a lover a giver.Jesus came across as selfless...and to the very end he would not let the enemy make Him fight back..to my heart I say Jesus died for the love of God and for the love of everyone else Jesus saved who he could while in flesh..and then when he became full spiritual body he continues touching helping healing I amagine what ever Christ was in flesh he is also the same in spiritual body..and everyone didnt like this idea getting in the way of business and world fame and power they were afraid of Jesus because he had the power coming from his father all source of energy..any ways...I cant see a person being able to be connected with out trying to be connected to the father on his own.....

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Intelligend Design is Like Marxist History. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
