What does intelligent design propose?
Edit: I'd prefer that you answer with modern advanced scientific principles rather than causality and newtonian physics.

Who invented scientific theory? Is scientific theory an absolute? But atheists claim that there are no absolutes. The scientific method is applicable in everyday life so it can be used for anything right? Can a Christian use the scientific method to substantiate the existence of the transcendent God? Why or why not? I believe so. I believe that they are applicable to God. They may not provide a photo of God, but they corroborate His existence nontheless.[B]Observation:
The universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc. are very complicated.Question: Why are they so complicated? How do they exist? Why do they exist?
Hypothesis: The universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc. are very complicated because they were designed by Someone Who possesses sufficient wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, and power to create them.
Prediction: If the hypothesis is correct, THEN if those things are analyzed they should reveal, show, or evince evidence of design.
Experiment or Observation: Analyze the universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc.
Conclusion: The universe, planets, stars, earth, fundamental forces, cells, life, etc. are very complicated because they were designed by Someone Who possesses sufficient wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, and power to create them hypothesis is supported. [/B]
This is more a demonstration of circular reasoning rather than the scientific method.

😆
btw...thats the version of the scientific method they teach to 10 year olds.
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE SUPERNATURAL BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO OBJECTIVELY OR CONCLUSIVELY TEST THE SUPERNATURAL.
Thanks, please close this thread.
