beliefnet: Intelligent Design Isn't 'Stealth Creationism' By William Dembski

"Intelligent design, on the other hand, is committed to the following propositions:

ID1: Specified complexity and irreducible complexity are reliable indicators or hallmarks of design.
ID2: Biological systems exhibit specified complexity and employ irreducibly complex subsystems.
ID3: Naturalistic mechanisms or undirected causes do not suffice to explain the origin of specified complexity or irreducible complexity.
ID4: Therefore, intelligent design constitutes the best explanation for the origin of specified complexity and irreducible complexity in biological systems.
"

Many of my thoughts on evolution and scientific creationism align with this theory. What I learned very early in my education was that the more I learned about things, the more I realized how much I didn't know. Each question I answered triggered five more questions I could not answer. I think Albert Einstein said it best,

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
