WHAT IS INTELLIGENT DESIGN? A CREATION MYTH
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
I have...a foreboding of an America in my children’s generation, or my grandchildren’s generation ... when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in steep decline, unable to distinguish between what’s true and what feels good, we slide, almost without noticing, into superstition and darkness.
A creation myth is a scientifically-unsupported story about how the world began and life on earth came to be. Intelligent design ("ID") is one such myth.
The concept of intelligent design is not remotely scientific. Not a single paper supporting the notion has ever passed peer review for publication in a scientific journal. Like all creation myths, there’s simply no evidence for ID, and the hypothesis is untestable. ID is well-funded creationist movement, especially in the United States.
