Intelligent Design

[AAA]

When the consensus is backed by evidence which bears out the theory time and again, and the naysayers have produced no proper evidence at all to substantiate their objections, then we have a win.

That's not to say the theory is definitely true, of course things can change with new information. But it's the best that can be done with what is available. The models work, or at least they seem to beyond reasonable doubt.

Saying that there is some doubt is reasonable, but saying therefor anyone can just ignore theories and make up their own rubbish is absurd. If the rubbish had evidence, then it too would be science instead of rubbish.

So what's next? Conspiracy theories? All this amazing new evidence is being silenced?

Also, what does it matter? What difference does it make if life is designed? Why should I care?

I think you should go back and look at the evidence for evolution. There are some evidences presented for things like microevolution. When you think about what the evolutionary theory claims vs. what the direct evidence actually is, you realize that it is mostly them building ideas off their evolutionary presuppositions. They completely project their ideas on the fossil record, which in reality displays more of a stasis rather than change. This fits the creation model better (I wouldn't say I'm a creationist necessarily, but they have a compelling argument worth considering). The complexity in the cell was completely unexpected back last century according to the evolution model. Yet this is what we find.

Is there evidence being silenced? The intelligent design people seem to be discriminated against when it comes to peer reviewed ideas. The creationists claim that archeological evidence is being suppressed by the Smithsonian, such as the bones of much larger humans, burial stones with dinosaur like creatures depicted on them, destroying fossilized skulls and footprints in places where they shouldn't be. I don't like the words conspiracy theory, but you can't say all conspiracy theories are wrong, because there have been some pretty serious ones that have turned out to be true. You should look that up on like youtube or something.

What does it matter if life was designed? Well the first thing you should do is try to see if we can figure out who the designer/designers is/are. If it actually turns out to be the Biblical God, then it might change how you live your life.
