Greetings,
I cannot presume to be an expert, but as far as biology and the theory of biological evolution is concerned, I can't see how is ID a part of science or a scientific approach. I am saying it not because I am against theleology, but, rather, because I take it that natural sciences have agreed, since approx. 1620 (Bacon's "Novum Organum") to function according to the rules of the scientific method. These rules say that we cannot include anything supernatural in our proceedings, i.e., observations must be limited to the observations of the natural, questions to the questions about the natural, hypotheses to the hypotheses about the natural, etc. Yet, if we are using words like "intelligent design," what "natural" do we really mean? Whose design?
Kind regards,
Richard
