| Intelligent Design is a doctrine such as | | | | the world and hope our children can still |
| Evolution and the Bible. If the world is | | | | think for themselves afterward.The Bible |
| looking at the Bible as a doctrine we must | | | | answers all these isms like this; Mat 16:12 |
| look at all Books, Papers, Articles and | | | | Then understood they how that he bade them |
| Scientific Lectures as Doctrines. What is | | | | not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the |
| I.D.? Intelligent Design (ID) is the | | | | doctrine of the Pharisees and of the |
| controversial assertion that certain features | | | | Sadducees. Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, |
| of the universe and of living things exhibit | | | | brethren, mark them which cause divisions and |
| the characteristics of a product resulting | | | | offences contrary to the doctrine which ye |
| from an intelligent cause or agent, as | | | | have learned; and avoid them. 1Ti 6:3-5; If |
| opposed to an unguided process such as | | | | any man teach otherwise, and consent not to |
| natural selection.. Adherents of Intelligent | | | | wholesome words, even the words of our Lord |
| Design have claimed that it stands on equal | | | | Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is |
| footing with, or is superior to, current | | | | according to godliness; He is proud, knowing |
| scientific theories regarding the origin of | | | | nothing, but doting about questions and |
| life and the origin of the universe. The | | | | strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, |
| scientific community has rejected this claim | | | | strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse |
| on the grounds that Intelligent Design is not | | | | disputings of men of corrupt minds, and |
| a scientific theory but junk science. The | | | | destitute of the truth, supposing that gain |
| N.A.S has said that Intelligent Design "and | | | | is godliness: from such withdraw |
| other claims of supernatural intervention in | | | | thyself.There are many fine Christians that |
| the origin of life" are not science because | | | | want to do the proper things for their |
| their claims cannot be tested by experiment | | | | children but for them to push for Intelligent |
| and propose no new hypotheses of their own. | | | | Design to be taught in the schools along with |
| Proponents of Intelligent Design make the | | | | Evolution, is also harmful, for they are |
| claim that there is a systemic bias within | | | | devieateing from the true word. This is a |
| the scientific community against proponents' | | | | deception from Satan. 2Jo 1:9-11; Whosoever |
| ideas and research, because of the | | | | transgresseth, and abideth not in the |
| naturalistic assumption that science can or | | | | doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that |
| should only make reference to natural causes. | | | | abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath |
| Critics have called this argument polemical, | | | | both the Father and the Son. If there come |
| as Intelligent Design, in its opposition to | | | | any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, |
| what it terms methodological-naturalism, is | | | | receive him not into your house, neither bid |
| at odds with current scientific philosophy | | | | him God speed: For he that biddeth him God |
| and methodology. Finally, supporters hold | | | | speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Teaching |
| that religious neutrality requires the | | | | Intelligent Design is erring from the truth. |
| teaching of both evolution and Intelligent | | | | We do not sneak about trying to cover up the |
| Design in schools, because teaching only | | | | Gospel of Jesus Christ, but we are to stand |
| evolution unfairly discriminates against | | | | boldly affirming the truth and Faith that we |
| those holding the Creationist beliefs. | | | | have in the Word of God. Gal 1:7-9; Which is |
| Teaching both, Intelligent Design supporters | | | | not another; but there be some that trouble |
| argue, allows for a scientific basis for | | | | you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. |
| religious belief, without causing the state | | | | But though we, or an angel from heaven, |
| to actually promote a religious belief. | | | | preach any other gospel unto you than that |
| According to critics of Intelligent Design, | | | | which we have preached unto you, let him be |
| not only has Intelligent Design failed to | | | | accursed. As we said before, so say I now |
| establish reasonable doubt in its proposed | | | | again, If any man preach any other gospel |
| shortcomings of accepted scientific theories, | | | | unto you than that ye have received, let him |
| but it has not even presented a case worth | | | | be accursed. Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of |
| taking seriously. Critics of Intelligent | | | | the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of |
| Design argue that Intelligent Design has not | | | | God unto salvation to every one that |
| presented a credible case for the public | | | | believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the |
| policy utility of presenting Intelligent | | | | Greek.Phi 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in |
| Design in education. More broadly, critics | | | | every thing by prayer and supplication with |
| maintain that it has not met the minimum | | | | thanksgiving let your requests be made known |
| legal standard of not being a "clear" attempt | | | | unto God. So in ending, we see that the men |
| to establish religion, which in the United | | | | who are encouraging teaching Evolution and |
| States is constitutionally forbidden. Many | | | | those that argue to teach Intelligent Design |
| large words are usually associated with | | | | are both at odds with the Father and His |
| theories dont you think? If we are to teach, | | | | word. We cannot allow others to teach false, |
| I.D. we might as well teach, Scientology, | | | | religions, doctrines and unprovable theories |
| Budism, Hinduism, and all the other isms in | | | | to our children. Its the Bible or nothing. |
