The Intelligent Design Movement

Product Description

The Intelligent Design Movement: How Intelligent is it?

Illustrated Lecture by Dr. Georgia Purdom

The Intelligent Design (ID) Movement has gained much popularity in both secular and Christian circles in recent years. The movement’s history, philosophical and theological foundations, and approach to science are important to understanding its impact on Christianity. Many churches today are reluctant to engage the topic of creationism and instead support ID. But is the ID movement good, or not? Will it help or hurt evangelism and discipleship efforts? In this new “Hot Topic” DVD, Dr. Georgia Purdom (Ph.D., molecular genetics) reveals the history and unravels the good, the bad and the ugly of this “new” idea regarding origins. Excellent for every parent, pastor, and science teacher entrusted with the education of children and/or families.

Intelligent Design

Intelligent Design (ID) theory holds that; “certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.” ID theorists draw exclusively upon empirical evidence to support the existence of a creative intelligence or designer. ID purports that design can be detected without any understanding of who the designer is or why the agent acted, or even how the phenomenon in question was actually produced. ID is a unique scientific position that stands in stark contrast to naturalistic, materialistic philosophy of science which puts forth abiogenesis rather then intelligent agents as the main mechanism that created biological systems for sustaining life. It can also clearly be distinguished from religious creationism in that it stakes no claim regarding the specific identity of the creator, nor does it use references from scripture when forming theories about the history of the world. In fact, many ID theorists support the idea of common descent and billions of years of time. ID simply postulates that certain features within the cosmos present clear evidence of being deliberately and intelligently designed.
