"Can you explain to me what that is ? I 've never been able to get a straight answer . In particular , what was supposed to have happened , and when ?"
"Well , I can more easily explain what it is NOT . In my latter ID days , I was arguing for a form of Directed Panspermia , with the aliens themselves having arisen by purely natural means - starting off as simpler organisms than us , but then evolving intelligence - and then creating life as we know it . Without getting into details , imagine what we humans will probably due in 100 years or so : create a new form of life ( robotic ) that is vastly different than our own and probably more complex . And it is a form of life we would be more likely to send out into space than ourselves , and that is better suited for being send out to other planets than we are . Analogously , imagine a form of alien life unlike that as we know it creating bacterial life and then sending it out in spaceships to populate other worlds . With our form of life being designed by a different form of life and rocketed here , that would be intelligent design of life as we know it . However , that is NOT what the ID movement holds ID to be : their 's is a religious position down to its core , as became even more clear in the Dover , PA court case . Also , one could argue that Intelligent Design is a fact . When humans create a novel amino acid sequence , or modify a bacterium to perform a specific target function , then we are practicing intelligent design in biology . But that is NOT what the ID movement means . Theirs is a religious position that uses human design as an analogy , not as their goal . As far as Behe 's ID , he made it clear in his Darwins ' Black Box and in court in the Dover , PA case that he ca n't say much of anything about ID . He ca n't tell WHEN the designs were created , HOW the designs were instantiated , by WHOM or `` WHOMS `` the designs were created , or WHERE the designs and instantiations occurred . He 's got 0 details . Yet he rejects evolution - despite the tons of evidence - because not every single I has been dotted in the origin of the bacterial flagellum . Behe strains out a gnat yet swallows a camel ."
