Intelligent Design

Michael Behe and William Dembski should look into either expanding their research or conceding many of their bad theories to their opponents. The fact that these two have done so much research and ended in little should do something to their consciouses. I have not looked into finding their answers to the raised doubts, but it doesn't seem like there is much to say other than they were wrong. Dembski has some more interesting things to say, and to a point he was able to at least incite his readers to think about the chances and the possibilities. The example that was given about the hand of cards being dealt does not convince me too much about the improbability, because having the cards dealt concedes that their was a hand dealing them and that each of the cards existed and they were just placed in the same place. We can say that about every single thing that exists and how it happens to be where it is at the time it is there; there are so many possibilities that go into every single reality that we see daily.

Either way, the Intelligent Design theory has been clearly debunked as simply creationists changing their name. I don't think that anyone was fooled by this. We all know that all, or at least almost all, are Christians. But while there are parts of evolution or natural selection that are being shown as untrue we must keep researching and confirming what is right and what is wrong. And while there is still many interesting studies which suggest that there was someone or something that began the universe, we must continue to research and try to find answers.
