Intelligent Design

I think that intelligent design should not be considered a science because it's simply an idea. Each person is allowed to believe whatever they want, and that's exactly how things should be with intelligent design. Intelligent design is just another possible view of evolution of human origin. It may be similar to creationism, which is a religious belief, but it's also completely different. I think that it could be considered a science to some people; however, I personally don't consider it to be. This is mostly because there is no evidence to completely support any of these ideas. Therefore, they are all just theories. Because they are only theories, it's not anything that anyone can be 100% positive about. Therefore, it's just an idea which calls for social debate and should be considered a social study.

I completely agree with everything you had to say. For something to be considered a science, it has to be proven and none of these thoeries are proven. That does not mean that people can not belive them, its just not considered a science.

I agree with Ashley. Intelligent design is an idea rather than proved science. While some people may consider it science, I don't think it is. There is no proof backing up the idea that a higher power put us on earth.
