I've been pondering.
Say what you will about Faith and the YECrs. Their worldview, albeit circular, is at least consistent. "We believe that this book is the absolute truth and explains the world around us."
While we can argue about how well it explains what we see in the world, at least we know that the YECrs believe that the mechanisms explained in the book were used to create the world.
ToErs, likewise, have a pretty solid worldview. "These observations from numberous different fields of study give us an estimate of the age of the world, and nicely explain/demonstrate the processies for the specification of animals from one or few common ancestors."
The mechanisms of Evolution have been well described, tested, observed, etc.
But this brings me to the Intelligent Design crowd. And, here I get puzzled.
Can ID be defined other than as opposition to Evolution? What are the mechanisms of Intelligent Design? Where do we find sources for these mechanisms? How do these mechanisms explain what we see now?
Forget for a moment if it's science or not. Forget if it's testable or not. I just want to know what Intelligent Design stands for? What does it presuppose? How does it explain (even within it's own set of facts) what it suggests has happened?
Does anyone have these answers?
