Intelligent Design

Science is defined as, "a branch or knowledge of study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws." With that in mind, no, I do not think intelligent design should be considered a science. I think it's great that it can bring together the developmental side of evolution and the birthing of humans as many religions pronounce. Intelligent design is essentially the belief that humans developed through evolution but were created by a higher power or deity. It is a reasonable explanation for someone who is a scientific religious person, but it is not fact. It is not truth. It's a belief, one of which anyone is entitled to, but should not be considered a science in and of itself.
