Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 16TYK
Advocates of “scientific creationism” and “intelligent design” lobby school districts for such things as a ban on teaching evolution, equal time in science classes to teach alternative versions of the origin and history of life, or disclaimers in textbooks stating that evolution is “just a theory.” They argue that it is only fair to let students evaluate both evolution and the idea that all species were created by God as the Bible relates or that, because organisms are so complex and well adapted, they must have been created by an intelligent designer. Do you think that alternative views of evolution should be taught in science courses? Why or why not?

Students have asked these similar questions
Intelligent design is the theory that life is too complex to have evolved randomly. The eye is often cited as an example, arguing that its complexity argues for the presence of a creator guiding its development. What use is half an eye or a partial wing? It is a popular idea because it does not deny the observable fact of evolution, while leaving room for the presence of God. Is intelligent design a viable scientific theory? Why or why not?
Why is intelligent design (ID) a flawed argument? Select the statement that is FALSE.
There is no way through experiments or observations to falsify the hypothesis of an Intelligent Designer.
ID assumes that each molecular machinery is built from scratch, which is not true; existing proteins are
often re-used.
OID and evolution are both valid hypotheses, but over the years we have found more evidence pointing
toward evolution.
O ID assumes that systems are irreducibly complex, and that individual components cannot be removed,
even though several examples exist of 'irreducibly complex' systems being reduced.
