Intelligent Design

"There are many historical figures that accepted the premise of an Entity, greater than ourselves, created the Universe and designed everything within in." Yes there was. However this irrelavent. There were many historical figures that thought the earth was flat, or suspended in water, or were Alchemists. They simply didn't have the technology and knowledge we have today. Science has agreed to this for a millennia but at one point science agreed the earth was flat until we found out it wasn't. That what science is, we follow where the evidence leads. "Intelligent Design is not a new concept, nor is it something that should be randomly dismissed." It should definitly be randomly dismissed since it is NOT science. Intelligent Design is not a theory because it cannot be scientifically studied. "If we are to study the History of Science, we must accept that our ancestors were some kind of Creationalists..." And our ancestors were also Alechmists, but once we abondoned that pretty fast since we realized it didn't fit in with science. "While we are discussing Intelligent Design, we would also note that scientific interpretations can be biased based on Belief Systems. For example, some famous Atheists have come to astouding revelations about the nature of the Universe. They claim that a "Big Bang" created the Universe by chance, ignoring any and all other possibilities, based on nothing more than their personal belief systems. They claim that substances and energy were created through that known event without any outside influences. This takes more faith to believe than Intelligent Design, however..." Wrong. Science doesn't work like that. They don't dismiss dismiss all other possibilities because of their Atheisim, they dismiss them because they lack evidence for them. Scientists do not clam that energy was made through the Big Bang. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that: "Matter cannot be created nor destoryed." So we know, that matter and energy have been eternal. Think of it like this, you go to the store and buy a box of cookies and on the box it says "0 Calories." If you eat one cookie, this will be true. However, if the more you eat, the more you accumilate calories. Nothing is not exactly nothing and cannot be nothing forever. It takes a hell of a lot less faith since it can be proven, Miller/Urey proved something can come from nothing in their experiment, than to say an all-being, all-powerful entity exists that never dies or has to be born and exists outside of our laws of nature and created everything in the Universe. "Hawking even admits that he doesn't have all the answers, as do Creationists." Steven Hawking doesn't need to have all the answers, he knows the Big Bang happened, the evidence is overwhelming and therefore, he's waiting for a scientist or scientists to perform experiements and figure out what happened. Energy cannot be created nor destoryed, we both agree on this. The Universe formed because A. The Energy has been eternal, there was energy pre-Big Bang. B. This energy is with particles and this friction over "time" caused a massive explosion. This explosion caused the particles to smash, clash and form into atoms and new elements. As well as with the help of stars. "We should never take things at face value and determine that chance and happennstance created something so perfect and lasting as this universe." Wrong. It's not perfect and lasting. The Universe is chaotic. Explosions and dark holes and matter clashing into matter. The Universe is expanding still leaving less energy to galaxies closer to the center. Eventually our galaxy wil recieve such little energy it will leave it in ice and cold.
