Well, the original thread went way off topic despite all my efforts to wrangle it in. So, now that it's topped out and been closed down, I'm going to repost my original question again.
I have read several threads here about Intelligent Design / Creationism / Evolution, and something has jumped out.
Creationists have a very well developed theory - "God created mankind, all the animals, and all the plants in just the way it's described in the Bible."
Evolutionists have a very well developed theory - "Mutations in the genetic code create new traits which can be passed from one generation to the next. Those traits which are benificial thrive. Over time, small changes add up to big changes."
But Intelligent Design, not so much...
Here's the thing -
Creationists have "mechanics". That is to say they can clearly explain how something happened. "God did this using the power of God."
Evolutionists have "mechanics". Mutations happen as a result of copy errors in DNA. Natural Selection happens when something dies before it can reproduce.
But the Intelligent Design side of the debate has yet to explain their "mechanics".
If you are an ID supporter, can you please step up to the plate?
What is Intelligent Design's theory?
What would be tought in schools if ID was the only theory?
What are the "mechanics" of Intelligent Design?
How are designs done? How are they implimented?
What constraints are put on Natural selection to assure that only the incorrectly designed species are killed?
Why are there incorrectly designed species at all?
Can anyone explain any of this?
