Intelligent Design: still a science stopper December 28, 2007

Making Space for Time – Physicists meet to puzzle out why time flows one way. Scott Dodd. Scientific American, January 2008 p 26,27,28.
This article cites physicists invoking multiverses to explain high order in the early cosmos – and that less order would have prevented universes from surviving or evolving to support intelligent life.
This sounds like evidence for Intelligent Design – and efforts to explain it away. This calls for brilliant astrophysicists and mathematicians to address this controversial evidence from an ID perspective.
No, it doesn’t. Nothing about the early universe can be learned from assuming “a magic man done it.” I’d love for anyone affiliated to ID to tell me what testable predictions they can make about how God the Designer set up the early Universe, and why such predictions fit better with ID than with naturalistic–you know, scientific–explanations.
When science sees a puzzle, it tries to solve it. When ID sees a puzzle, it assumes God done it, and calls real scientists closed-minded.
When science sees a puzzle, it tries to solve it. When ID sees a puzzle, it tries to solves it as well. The difference is “Why”.
Science cannot explain why. It takes intelligence, not random chemical reaction, to have purpose.
Scientist are not closed-minded. Scientist are honourable people seeking knowledge and understanding of the universe. It is the atheist that understands the universe as random events forming together while the ID understands the universe as a product of intelligence.
ProFire:
Still waiting for those testable predictions from ID. Still waiting for anything but God-of-the-Gaps and Magic Man, for that matter.
