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