Should "Intelligent Design” Be taught in Public School?

Intelligence design is a technical program with direct affiliations to philosophy. It denotes that some universal features and of things alive have intelligent explanations rather than unintended courses. Unintended courses here could be biological, for example, natural selection (Thaxton, 1986). This program redefines science in such a crucial way as to arouse mystic justifications. Some critics call it creationism or pseudoscience. Understanding intelligence design can at times confuse one for a religious viewpoint. Although this concept does not acknowledge religious convictions, a scholar can almost certainly attribute it to faith and deistic beliefs. In essence, it tries to provide an explanation for faith ...
